The summer league boys take the court at 10:30 ET. What, you thought I was talking about something else?
The Pistons are looking to rebound from a thrashing at the hands of a Kings squad that simply seemed to be in another league. Here are some things to watch for.
Greg Monroe's motor: When Detroit drafted him, my primary concern was his conditioning, and it appears those were well founded. Alright, fine. But we need to see some evidence that he is willing to get into the mix and throw down. Right now, he is just treading water, and that's disconcerting.
Austin Daye's role: I'm inclined to chalk up Daye's miserable game three performance to being nicked up and giving the other guys a chance to shine. But enough of all that, okay?
Can Koshwal earn a roster spot?: Hard to deny him if he keeps averaging a rebound every two minutes.
MFTW: Terrico White was one of the few players who didn't embarrass himself on Monday, but he also lived up to his reputation for going ghost for extended periods. It will be interesting to see if he can assert himself on offense while maintaining his efficiency.
Can we get some air time?: Thus far, Detroit's summer league games have been interrupted by the Miami Douche Carnival and a random David Stern press conference. Tonight, the Kings and Pistons are playing at the same time for some reason. Sigh...
What do you think? Talk about everything!

WTF Minnie will be on NBAtv on Pistons time.
Where the fuck am I gonna watch?
Where in the world is Trent Plaisted?
I'm excited to watch White today
I was too concerned with monroe(semi-fail) and daye(uber-fail) in the last game to pay attention to him when he didn’t have the ball. I’m interested to see how he helps on defense and how he moves w/out the ball on offense.
This post
Doesn’t mention who we’re playing. Is it a semi-televised practice? Is Egsleder at the final table at the WSOP? Are we playing the Kings again?
I would rather write this than look it up.
Who is on the Heat summer team? Is it pretty much their future roster?

I don't know...
I think, given their current salary situation, you and I might have been able to get a roster spot.
But seriously, here is their summer league roster:
http://www.nba.com/summerleague2010/teams/heat/
Note that these assholes did very well in the draft despite low picks. They got DBB favorite (and sometimes proclaimed ben wallace of the future) Jarvis Varnado and Texas alum Dexter Pittman.
witty signature
Guilty
I’ll claim responsibility for calling Varnado “Ben Wallace 2.0”. Unfortunately, I will not be able to watch the game tonight and defend my honor.
Sorry.
My cousin is a Mississippi State alum and turned me on to Varnado a couple of years ago. I’ve been a fan since then. Also, I think that was my first MF, sadly it was in jest.
My fault
I kind of disappeared there for a while. I was basically working full time/going to school full time/getting married all at the same time. But two of those three things are finished and now I have the time to be on the internets again without it screwing up my grades or job (or relationship).
Thanks!
A word of advice to my engaged DBB brethren, and I know there’s a few of you out there. Make sure you greet your guests at the church/ceremony because if you wait until the reception you won’t make it to them all. That or you’ll be walking off the dance floor on and off all night to talk to the people you missed.
congrats
brother MFOM!!! and re: time for the internets again, it is a celebration, bitches!
witty signature
AH!
If only, I depart now to read and red-pen a 65 page report for tomorrow morning. I am 3 gin and tonic’s deep though. May Monroe (and Varnado) not let us (me) down.
congrats on the wedding
I know it’s way early, but a great set of childrens books you can read with your children (few years down the road of course) are the Percy Jackson and Olympians series.
I went out on trip up north and decided to read them to kill time. The reading level is that of a 12 year old imo, but the stories are interesting and clean of any profanity.

I haven't watched much
But what I’ve seen has made me concerned about his athleticism. I don’t think he’s gotten much elevation when it’s been needed and he’s not dunked with the authoritai that a man of his size should dunk. Then again, I didn’t watch the lottery guys all work out against each other, so what do I know?

Haha, sorry. I just want actual production, not lots of talk of potential. And if the production isn’t coming, stop talking about it and let the guy develop on his own without the added pressure.

The intangibles and espousals of potential sure do get tiresome.

Jod's Experiment
Pretty cool new experiment where Jod drafts a PG who isn’t a passer, a SF with PF size who manages not to rebound or pass and is also turnover prone, and a PF/C who plays like a SF/PG.
Hopefully someday I’ll see the light and understand why it’s not possible to just draft guys who play like players who play their position.

Dumars is a pretty cool guy.

by Terrence J. Lynch on Jul 15, 2010 12:14 AM CDT up reply actions
Drafting for position
Gives you Darko Milicic, Sam Bowie and Wesley Johnson. Recently, Dumars has done a good job of taking the best player available. The players who fall in the draft tend to be those whose capabilities don’t match the position they are supposed to be playing.
Draft talent and worry about fit when you are making trades. LeBron James has the body of a power forward, and can play the two. Ben Wallace has the body of, well, Terrico White. It doesn’t matter. What matters is whether the players can play.
by Kevin Sawyer on Jul 15, 2010 12:42 AM CDT up reply actions
sigh… I have no clue how Darko has anything to do with what I wrote.
Maybe it’s just me, but I think it makes sense to draft players who actually do the things that are important for their positions. Terrico/WrongD/Monrover all have serious holes in their games, specifically holes that are important for their positions: Terrico— passing, Wrong— everything except sometimes scoring, Monroe— rebounding, blocking shots and interior scoring. All those holes were plainly evident in their college stats. Pointing this out = Darko…?
So yeah, obviously you need “talent,” but “talent” starts to not look so talented when it gets beat.
Terrico White and DaJuan Summers
Showed few signs of being at all talented in college. If White was a rebounding machine, and Summers a major long distance threat, we wouldn’t have been upset with their selections in the second round.
I’m referring to the Monroe, Daye and Stuckey picks, all of whom were good value for their draft position.
by Kevin Sawyer on Jul 15, 2010 9:47 AM CDT up reply actions
I agree that Stuckey was a good value for his position, but the question of whether Stuckey was better suited to PG or SG was never allowed to sort itself out— he was forced to fit into a position that it was unclear he was suited for.
RE: Monroe— His only major statistical advantage over guys like Aldrich, Davis and Whiteside was assists. Aldrich and Davis were more efficient interior scorers, rebounded more and blocked more shots. Whiteside was a less efficient scorer, but had the best defensive stats of any prospect in the draft. How does it make sense to conclude that Monroe is the most talented of the four?
RE: Daye— Ty Lawson. Though to be fair to Jod, Lawson can only play one position, which is obviously a huge red flag and makes him a big bore.
by Gabe F-B on Jul 15, 2010 10:51 AM CDT up reply actions 2 recs
The problem is the "making trades" part hasn't happened
Before last season it was obvious that our roster was ridiculously unbalanced: too many guards (including paying Rip and Ben G. starter money to play the same position).; too many SFs, and not enough bigs. So, everyone figured, the solution would be to trade a smaller guy sfor a big guy. That never happened. OK, maybe injuries and general sucky-ness of the team inhibited that, or maybe everyone in the league was waiting for the free agent class of 2010.
But then this year’s draft came, our big man problem is at least as obvious as it was last year (Big Ben was a nice surprise, but he’s getting older and he never had an offensive game; Wilcox wasn’t impressive last year; and CV at his best isn’t a defense/rebound/play in the post most of the time kind of guy). So we drafted a guy who is still too small to be a center and another combo guard. Maybe Monroe and White will be really good at the positions they play, but we NEED a trade for some legit bigs.
That’s why people are a bit concerned about JOD’s drafting “the best player available.” Even if they really were the best players available, we still need a more balanced roster, and going for over a year without addressing that is depressing. Actually, it goes back two years, with all the “small ball” crap in the AI year I’m trying to suppress.
It’s painful to see Tayshaun and Jonas get stuck at PF when they are much better at SF. It’s painful to see Rip at SF when he’s much better at guard. Playing CV at center, which we did some last year, is the Suns/Warriors style offense without nearly as much offensive talent. Even in summer league, it seems as if Monroe is going to struggle against bigger centers because he’s more naturally suited to PF.
If we get a legit big man at center (and relieve the log jam at other positions to get him), we’ll finally be able to play folks at their natural positions. But we have to actually MAKE A TRADE.
by Toledo Joe on Jul 15, 2010 8:04 AM CDT up reply actions 4 recs
agreed...
Joe D feels that if we do nothing, we’ll be better simply because of health reasons. Why that can be somewhat true, I wouldn’t think that this roster could be contenders for a championship even if healthy. There’s a very slim chance they can be a 40-win with this roster? But to think this roster can seriously compete with the top 3 or 4 teams in the East is almost as laughable as the exchange between Chris Webber and the Wolves GM last night about Darko and the state of the Wolves team…lolol That guy makes Joe D seem like a genius!
I agree
Joe’s unwillingness to move pieces has bordered on the ridiculous. I take league rumors with a grain of salt, but it sure sounds like Prince was off the table in the DeMarcus Cousins discussions, which is absurd.
And keep in mind that Ian Mahinmi went for $2M per. Dumars had no interest. Given his recent track record, I’m surprised he didn’t try to find a way to outbid Denver for Al Harrington. You know he was making calls.
But that doesn’t make Monroe a bad pick. Any of the true centers on the board represented a real downgrade in talent. Joe could have traded down, using the pick as bait to get a team to take Rip’s contract, but since he didn’t, I want the best player available.
by Kevin Sawyer on Jul 15, 2010 9:43 AM CDT up reply actions
I think Prince was available.
Because if he wasn’t, I doubt we offer Prince/Villanueva/7th for Brand/2nd like the one rumor had. And coinsidering the fact that Noc was dealt less than 24 hours after the supposed offer of Prince/7 for Noc/5, I’m kind of inclined to believe that deal was never really on the table. Especially considering how in love with Cousins the Kings were.

Thanks, and I would promise
To keep the team in Detroit. Heck, I would try to get them to actually play in Detroit, because it’s a shorter drive from Toledo to Detroit than from Toledo to Auburn Hills.
Additionally
Drafting the “best player available” is only useful in exactly 2 circumstances:
1. That talent pans out and makes your team better.
2. You use that talent as an asset to obtain other talent you NEED.
Thus far, the occurrence of 1 is debatable and 2 has not happened. Everyone is hands off for JOD. You know who’s untouchable? Tim Duncan. LeBron James. Kobe Bryant. Unless something catastrophic happens, or there is violent dissent in the locker room (a la Kobe 3 years ago), you don’t even THINK about trading those guys.
Rodney Stuckey is not untouchable. Greg Monroe is not untouchable. And Tayshaun Prince and Rip Hamilton are not worth nearly as much as JOD seems to think. Some day he’s going to realize that Sheeds don’t just fall from the sky every year. Unless the player is THE guy who is absolutely essential to your championship run, improvements can always be made.
Look, I went that whole post without even mentioning Cousins.

I believe you mean
Streams. This applies to both Bustin’ and Troff Pissin’.
This signature is false.
Monroe looked like he had a good game stat wise. 20-7. But not seeing the high assists or bebounds .
The Miami Heat are a bunch of Bandwagon Ass Cats !
2 reasons for that
1. His teammates sucked beyond DaJuan. They were total turnover machine ballhogs that couldn’t hit a jumper to save their lives
2. He was matched up with a 7 foot 300+ pound center. That should have never happened, and caused him to get like no boards and a ton of fouls in the first half

"should have never happened"
but won’t this ultimately happen with some consistency this season?
I realy hope Greg can add some muscle before the regular season. He ought to be jumping in on that personal chef that the rooks and Stuck went in on together.
At the end of Summer League I want to see an in-depth article with Greg Monroe where he outlines the aspects of his game that he needs to work on the most and what he plans to do to have his body prepped and ready to go for the upcoming season. I don’t care if all he says is, “I need to sit down with arnie” but I need to see him show a commitment right off the bat. If he does that, I’ll be very happy with his showing in the Summer League.

Shit is dire
Greg Monroadwarrior, we need to be a Piston Hero, and we need it now. Like Jonas did. Do like that dude did.

random thought
A lot has been said about Ben Wallace’s impact on teaching Monroe. But you know what? Even more so than Ben, you know who I would kill to have around to 1-on-1 mentor Monroe for a few years…
…Antonio McDyess.
witty signature
Me too, that was an amazing loss.
McDyess committed to Dumars and passed up millions in the Iverson trade a couple years back- Ben Wallace a couple years later made a similar gesture, seemingly not even considering any of the other teams out there looking for a defender of his caliber on the cheap. I miss McDyess immensely, but I am very appreciative of the Ben Wallace re-up.. and eventual retire.

Totally— and possibly a championship, too… sucks…

Who knows, man.
I love you Antonio McDyess. And everybody on here does.

Dyess loved us back
He didn’t seem to have the same hire in SA. He still hustled and played solid defense, but he just didn’t have that spark of magic we saw post AI trade.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see both him and Sheed in assistant coach uniforms 3-4 years from now. And even if they aren’t official coaches, they could always do what Hakeem is doing right now and still mentor other players in the offseason.

I really hope
SA doesn’t just trade Dyess out to any old team or a bottom feeder if they end up moving him. That would be a slap in the face to a guy that doesn’t deserve it one bit.
He’d actually be perfect for Boston right now.
Dyess is one of a handful of players
that I can forgive if he ends up in Miami and gets a ring. He won’t do that out of his own free will though, but I wouldn’t be mad at him. If he ends up there, it would be via trade.
i may be wrong
but pretty sure it’ll be near impossible for miami to make trades, at least this year
i believe minimum contracts are very difficult or complicated to move. As for their non-minimum contracs – lebron, wade, bosh, mike miller, haslem – doubt they get traded.
so i don’t see dyess going to miami unless he gets bought out and goes there via his own free will
Yeah but that doesn't mean he couldn't get traded to a team who then waives him
just like Denver did. If so, he could wait the 30 days before clearing waivers and then re-sign with SA or he could just go off and sign with whomever he wants. And McDyess ending up on Miami would make me a 1 year fan of the Heat…which is depressing and exciting at the same time.

i would be torn… on the one hand, i never want lebron to win a title. on the other hand, I want mcdyess to win one so very, very badly. i honestly think my love for dyess would win the day, as long as he were a contributor to the team (i don’t want him to get his ring as the 12th man, sitting on a bench)

i still wouldnt be able to root for the heat
if dyess goes ring chasing with the heat it would lower his stock with me. thats only if he goes there of his own free will.
you posted in exactly the wrong thread...
the next post down from this one on the main page details the rumors and the response from the Pistons organization saying they are not involved in any plans to move a team to Las Vegas
