I don't really want to debate where we should dichotomize the NBA performance continuum to separate out the game changers from the non-game changers. If decent means average, though, I disagree with your assessment of Lee.

After all, when a game is played for 48 minutes, there will be shots taken, rebounds to be had, assists to be given. At the end of the day though can that same guy swing the game? And quite frankly, Lee doesn't do that.

Shots can be made or missed. Rebounds can be secured or lost to the other team. The right passes can be made well or the wrong passes can be made poorly. The guys who get the minutes and touches have to execute or their teams won't win. Lee executes better than most, and GS is better for it (though he is overpaid). To me that's impact. If you disagree, then I suspect this discussion really just boils down to semantics.
