Vernon Macklin – Power Forward/Center from the University of Florida Gators. Going with the same theme of the Singler post – my 2 word descriptor for Macklin is “hard worker”. If I had to describe his style of play I’d say he’s a “bigger Jason Maxiell, without the shot blocking”. His body reminds me of [...]
NBA Draft
Kyle Singler, forward from the Duke Blue Devils. If I had to pick a word to describe Singler, it’d be “winner”. If I could go a step further to describe Singler’s playing style, I’d say he plays like a “Coach’s son”. Singler tries to do all of the things that you want your superstar player [...]
Brandon Knight, point guard from the University of Kentucky Wildcats. With Bismack Biyombo, Jonas Valanciunas and Tristan Thompson off the board (only Biyombo and Thompson were slated to go to #8), Detroit was left with making a stunningly obvious pick of Brandon Knight, the talented first year point guard from the University of Kentucky.

Joe Dumars speaks to Pistons fans and media immediately after Dumars selected Austin Daye as the Pistons #15 pick in the draft. He talks about Austin, and the state of the team. Best line…. “Yes, he’s skinnier than Tayshaun, so we definitely have to put some weight on him.” Please note….the “no more drama” quote. [...]
I will be Twittering and Live Blogging the NBA Draft on Need4Sheed from the Pistons Practice Facility tonight. Make sure you join me. I’m bringing the camera with me, so I’m sure I can stir up a bit of trouble. Depending on what’s going on, and who I see, I may even take requests. If [...]
The Amir Johnson experiment is over in Detroit. Joe Dumars made a with his one time right hand man John Hammond that sent Johnson for the newly acquired Fabricio Oberto, of The Bucks. “The Pistons have traded power forward Amir Johnson to Milwaukee for center Fabricio Oberto, who was acquired by the Bucks from the [...]
Around the Way…..The what a glorious weekend edition. To start off my weekend I ran into Steve Yzerman at Starbucks, and can you believe the place was packed and nobody but myself realized it was him? Besides my stalking charge it made for a beginning of a great few days, especially after two Wings wins! [...]
