[Courtney] Lee is poised and mature for a rookie, thanks to spending four years in a solid college program. Playing for a great teacher like Stan Van Gundy has helped him even more. He's already proved he can be a solid starter for a playoff team, but if he can learn to impose his will on the game, which [Chris] Paul is a master at doing, then he could take a big step toward becoming a potential top-three guy on his team.

Paul is a topflight competitor who uses his emotions to dominate. And Lee, who has considerable athleticism and skills, could benefit from running his engine a little hotter at times.
