Somoeone needs to do a piece on how prince, Never really developed into the kind of player the Pistons organization or fans thought he would be…

in Prince 3rd years in the league i remember the 15ppg 5rebs very good defense and thought he is going to be an All-Star for years to comes…i was always waiting for him to have a breakout season, but all he has ever been is an Average NBA player….He is Great on Championship teams or contending teams because he can fill a role…but he has to be the only average player, he does not help a rebuilding team. Should have been traded 3 years ago when we started to rebuild, now he has no trade value, he is creating a log jam at the SF position(i doubt he is better than Daye or Singler), his attitude under Kuester was horrible when the team needed him the most, and last year he was invisible unless his jumper was falling….

I dont wish bad on him, but if he twist an ankle and is sidelined for a month…it would be great for the Pistons (Sorry Tay is you read this stuff)

I appreciate you Tay, and all you did but times change..

Thanks for the fill-in Patrick. I didn’t think so, but I didn’t want to write in ignorance.

Prince can’t be amnestied. He signed his contract after the new CBA came into effect, so it’s not eligible to be amnestied. The Pistons missed the window to amnesty any contracts this offseason. So next offseason, the only contract they’ll have left on their books that they can use the amnesty on is Villanueva. And by then, he’ll represent a big expiring contract, so it’s debatable whether or not it will even be worth using it on him them.

I think Daye’s development was also hampered by all the intrigue that was going on before the Pistons were sold and Frank became coach. There were several Pistons with bad attitudes and a coach who had lost influence with his team. Not a good environment for the development of young players.

Is Prince eligible to be amnestied?

Right, Ray.
My whole point on Daye was that “he looked good – and should look good.” Not that he’s ready to start; just that it is progress that he looks like he’s supposed to look.

lack of maturity? remember what prince did the year before last?

Or how many times was he sulking? looked lazy on defense? or unmotivated unless his shot was falling…. I can take some of that from Austin Daye but from Prince? I cant

In 2011 season Daye started 15 game at Foward …average 11plus ppg 4.5 rebs shot 48% for 3′s… the talent is there ….. people make a big deal about his rebounding Prince career average is 4.7 rebs ….
