Oh yeah, I agree…When I was watching the draft I promised everybody in my house we were going to take Doron Lamb in the 2nd…

I agree that Summer league is important for team building and development.
I meant that you can’t judge a players future based on his summer league play.

I think Kim English has the chops to play a very nice roll in the NBA…he has got the body of a solid 2 guard, he seems like a nice perimeter defender and he can shoot the rock…Pistons fans already seem very high on him and I believe for good reason, he had a good college career, showed leadership and the ability to fufill a role on a team…this guy has come in and done everything right so far, from the way he speaks to the way he is motivated to prove himself to the organization(downloading the las 10 pistons to his iPod to go over tape, telling Joe he will take Drummond under his wing, saying he is flat out ready to go to work)…this guy has Piston written all over him, so did Afflalo but looked what happened right…

It’s true, 5 games is way too small a sample to do that with. But the idea is that if his play was pretty consistent except for one outlier game, how he played consistently is what you can most reasonably expect of him. But with just 5 data points, you can’t really identify outliers yet.

Yeah, exactly what Patrick said. I was super annoyed by the Middleton pick when Doron Lamb was on the board.

I think it means something for a team that’s as young and has as many new faces as ours.

He’s talking about Doron Lamb in the second round, not taking Jeremy Lamb in the lottery.

Summer league means nothing. Look how Daye performs in SL compared to the regular season.
let’s see how Drummond goes after training camp and a few more actual games

??? You would have taken Lamb over Drummond?
