Dude just keeps the ball moving. Doesn't always make the right decision but he makes quick decisions, either making a move to the basket or passing it off. Dude is just energy.

Worth pointing out, over his last 8 games, he's had 17 assists to only 2 turnovers and those 2 are from the Detroit game. Basically he's had 7 games straight without a turnover. Also has a net rating of +1.4 over these last 8 games and as an end of bench 2way guy, that's really all you're asking for.

He's good at creating contact and getting to the rim but at some point he's going to be unplayable unless he's able to hit wide open 3's which the defense is happy to give him. If I were the Suns I would lock Saben in a gym every day and make him practice 3's all day.

If Saben can hit 3s at an average rate then suddenly he's a legit backup point guard and maybe one of the better ones

Yeah but that's not happening and that's why I would prefer to sign whoever is available for that 15th spot.

I have seen enough from Saben Lee and I think he wouldn't help us in the playoffs. It's a shame because I really like his personality and he plays with effort...but he's just not good enough.

Yup he and JO are the same.

They can help you during the regular season but they can't hit a shot to save their lives in the post season.
