For me you are a little harsh on LMA, he is a top 3 PF for sure.

Lee's DRtg is slightly inflated by playing a lot of minutes with Iggy and Bogut.
Actually, I'm not being harsh on LMA at all. He simply isn't close to a top 3 PF. No argument can be made that he is. People see his raw numbers and overrate him. LMA is an incredibly inefficient scorer in the mold of Al Jefferson. He's a good mid-range shooter (except against the Mavs, when he's an insane one), but he has a limited low-post game. He doesn't shoot three, doesn't score at a high enough clip from two, and he doesn't get to the line. He's a mediocre volume scorer. That's why is TS% is so bad (as well as his ORtg). He's also only an average rebounder. In his defense, he's an underrated defender (I consider him a good man defender), and he turns the ball over at an insanely Dirk-low rate. But top 3 PF? Nope.
