Courtney Lee moved to starting lineup (Shooting Guard)

[AKA Coastal]

Interesting. I know we've got some Lee fan's on the boards.

The Magic welcome a new point guard --- Rafer Alston is available to play tonight --- and made a lineup change, replacing Michael Pietrus in the lineup with rookie Courtney Lee against the Bobcats.

Coach Stan Van Gundy said the move was made for "defensive matchup" purposes, although Pietrus was signed as a free agent this summer to be a defensive stopper.

Lee will be matched against Raja Bell.

Van Gundy said he didn't know if the move to Lee would be permanent.

Pietrus has struggled on both ends of the floor lately. He is 6-of-23 in his last three games.

Awesome. Huge fan of Courtney.

I'm actually playing NBA 2K9 right now, and Courtney just had 34 points for my team. Averaging 19.

Fantastic!

Hopefully we will see a near-permanent switch for the future.
