Warriors power forward David Lee averaged 18.2 points and 9.3 rebounds last season, but still, he wasn’t satisfied with his individual performance. [...] he hit the gym with Drew Hanlen, skills coach and consultant for Pure Sweat Basketball, and remade his jumper and rediscovered his confidence. Seeing that the team was hoisting plenty of jumpers already, Lee focused his offensive game on the block and finished tied with Houston’s Dwight Howard with 13.1 points per game in the paint. Lee wants to continue to be an option to score inside, but in head coach Steve Kerr’s new offense, the power forward believes that ball and player movement and spacing will also create more opportunities to shoot. While recovering from abdominal muscle surgery this summer, Lee did a shooting workout and rehab each morning. [...] each shot includes lifting his shooting arm and following through with his wrist in the same straight line toward the rim. Head coach Steve Kerr gave the team the night session off on the second day of two-a-day practices, choosing to go longer in the morning practice and mixing in teaching with contact drills.
