Lee saying "I was saving this for you, Neji" does not equal "I NEED this to even hit Neji." I can comfortably say Sakura is faster than Part 1 base Lee.

I fully accept Sakura is not going to land a straight up hit. Quote
Iv countered everything u said from page 9 of this thread onwards,everything! and now you cling to the idea that sakura would be fast enough to hit neji just because he was hit by things that had ntn to with speed,even tho u said u accept that sakura is not gonna land a direct hit?..ur points hav been useless from the start as all you were doin after i proved ur statements wrong were trying to correct urself lol still waiting for u to prove sakura is faster than weighted lee and any future talk about sakura getting speed increase is debunked by the post above mine..I can link all ur post that were debunked by me lol
Oh please, let's not sugar coat Neji's shortcomings. Being tagged by a Zetsu is inexcuseable. Sakura was able to react, why not Neji? Neji could see the needles coming, STILL got tagged in the very scan Sennin posted.
"Too many! Can't spin fast enough!"
I said what I honestly believed until Ice convinced me otherwise, I was underestimating Sakura's speed feats until Ice showed why they were so good.
Neji STILL got hit by slower attacks than 5 gate Lee, period. You cannot try to avoid this by saying things like "Well, they were a different kind of attacks, blah blah blah."
You said Neji could see chakra build up before attacks are unleashed, then WHY could he not react to 30% troll Kisame clone's Water Prison? Why could he not react to the slow Zetsu clone when it revealed it self LIKE SAKURA did?
Another thing to note is that even by Gai's words during the Prelims, Neji's reactions would HAVE to be lower than 5 gate speed by DEFAULT. The highest gate he can react to is unknown and is just pure speculation on anybody's part.
As Super Yang said, Databook cannot be applied. Ino had a much higher speed stat (the exact same difference between her and Neji in DB3, iirc) than Sakura in PART 1 and STILL got blitzed. By Pts Sakura, the absolute weakest character bar Academy Students.
Tagging Kaguya is being so underrated here, even by me until Ice thoroughly explained it. That is one of the fastest characters in the series and Sakura tagged her, and a punch is ALL she needs to win. Your bias about Neji's speed be damned.
You're blatantly ignoring him being stopped by the Jonin, of course. You sugar coat and try to reason why he got hit by slower attacks, you ignore or underrate Sakura's speed and even her reaction feats, and by extension Kaguya and Sasori.
The only "counters" you posted are your own bias, even Drae's counter is lackluster, although I'll let Ice deal with it when he returns.
I'm bed, bath, and beyond done with this thread.
