Even if the got a defensive big man instead like Chandler, you could say the same thing about it being a bad fit for their offense. Because Chandler isn’t a scorer, and you don’t know yet how much Monroe is capable of scoring outside of just put-backs. We’d be great on defense, but struggle to score on offense, I think with a defensive big.

So, I think its one or the other right now because we aren;t going tofind a big man this year that can play both ends of the floor. Aside from Nene, but it looks like he’s too expensive for the Pistons. Kaman would be a nice, low-risk compliment in the frontcourt for a couple yrs until we find someone better.

Kaman would not be a good complement to Monroe in the following ways:

- Kaman is a terrible defensive player. Monroe will get better at that end, but he was also not a good defensive player last year. So with those two and Villanueva as your third big, you have a really horrid defensive frontcourt overall.

- Kaman is not a rim protector. Monroe’s weakness is his lack of athleticism. The Pistons desperately need someone who can block shots, regardless of whether you define that person’s position as a center or PF. Monroe would thrive if paired with a shot-blocking presence.

- Kaman is a black hole on offense who is most effective when he’s getting a ton of touches in the post. This would mean that Monroe would not be getting touches, so it would be harder for him to continue to develop his post game and to flash his passing skills that he showed a few times last season because Kaman would always have the ball.

- Kaman is a bad passer. Monroe was an effective scorer last season for two reasons — he got offensive rebounds and he moved well without the ball. Moving well without the ball is only valuable if you play with teammates who pass well and find you on cuts. Kaman does the opposite of pass well and find cutters.

So yeah … Kaman fills a need in that he’s big and the Pistons could use size. But he’s not a long-term solution and he’s not someone who will aid Monroe’s development or make Detroit’s frontcourt all that formidable. Basically, he’s an upgrade over Jason Maxiell and Charlie Villanueva, and that’s not much of a compliment.

Fans are delusional if they think a new owner and new head coach are going to tank a season before it even starts. Great way for Frank to get the players to buy into his system. Show them how effective it is at losing games. Wow, SMH.
