COJ: David Lee's slow start, and what can be done

Through three games, David Lee has not been the reincarnation of Larry Bird - something he appeared to be when he was beating up European teams in the preseason. And while you never like to rush to judgement this early into the season, it does seem somewhat fair to assume that he just might not reach Larry Legend status with the Celtics. Bummer.

The question now is, can he still be a useful player? So far, he's been poor. In 20 minutes a game, he's averaging just over 5 points on just 25% shooting from the field.
