You can always find someone who is "great defensively", but sooner or later you need to score  enough points to win. Scoring only 93 points a game just isn't going to get it done. Yes, you can use the argument that defense leads to offense, however in the Pistons case that's just not true. It's nearly impossible to play a defense that will hold your opponent below 93 points a game. That said, the Pistons need to focus on increasing their "O" right now.

I want someone who's a little better at basketball right now. Plus, if he wasn't at North Carolina, I'm not sure he'd be a lottery pick.</p> Davis seems like he’s still a couple years away from really hitting his stride.

But I hope not. He's not overly athletic, so I could see him not making the best impression in individual workouts.</p> I think so, too. But I hope not.

Ed is a intense defensive player, which the Pistons need. Ed Davis is a much more physical player than Greg Monroe or Ekpe Udoh. Ed is a intense defensive player, which the Pistons need.
