@Kim Jong Skillz: First off, excellent name!!

I know I am stretching it a bit calling Bynum a two, it was said more for effect. Bynum’s asset to this team is his ability to get in the paint and score. He is also exceptional at stopping and popping off the pick and roll or in transition.

I see him more so as a Jason Terry spark plug than a point guard hence what I said. I will retract it a bit as I think he has a better feel of getting people involved than Stuckey, but he is not someone that should get starters minutes.

rob he gets more of a say in the matter then you do. he suits up to play for the pistons, you dont. how exactly can you even say that knight is a good young building block right now? we havent seen him play 1 second in the nba yet. all he is is potential right now. you have the argument of the other players you mentioned, but definitely not knight. he just got drafted, hes unproven. he could be a total flop. do you remember a guy by the name of christian laettner?
randomguy313: how exactly is bynum a natural 2?

Hopefully, we are picking 30th, :-).

Not hoping for another lottery season. We got enough young talent. Knight/Monroe are two excellent young building blocks, and Stuckey/Jerebko/Daye/Singler are great young complimentary pieces. Lets start adding some quality/consistent vets to the mix and start the road to winning again.

Charlie V needs to STFU and go away, telling the future face of our franchise to ‘get his mind right’. Charlie V needs to get his soft-azz defense right and GTFOH.

I’m tired of reading his opinions and approvals on our moves, as if he is the face of our franchise or something, and gets a say in the matter.

I know I am being subjective, but with draft players we are looking at potential; but I see the Pistons finally getting a PG not adding to a gluttony of guards. Stuckey and Bynum are 2s, size and circumstance dictated that they play point the past couple of years.
