If Dumars were to add #5 to the mix, it would be the Pistons most vocal admission yet that they don't believe Carlos Delfino can handle a regular rotation spot. Delfino would almost assuredly be jettisoned during the season or buried on the bench where his bitching (in Spanish, of course) couldn't effect the players who actually…play.

Delfino, we hoped, would finally provide the Pistons with some returns from a draft pick not named Tayshaun. But various reasons — injuries, mysterious benchings under both Larry Brown and Flip Saunders, and Delfino's immaturity — have kept him from living up to his potential. If Tuesday's stat line (15 pts, 6 boards, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and only 1 turnover in 24 minutes) is any indication of what Delfino could do if given a spot in the rotation, I may actually sleep through the night without waking in cold sweats thinking about the Pistons lack of a bench.

Flip better tire his whiny ass out in the first 15 games. Let Rip sit as often as possible and figure out if Delfino's going to make it. Delfino has potential, but he hasn’t proven to be a star.
