Comments on: Aging Corey Maggette faces long odds to keep getting to the free-throw line http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/10/aging-corey-maggette-faces-long-odds-to-keep-getting-to-the-free-throw-line/ Your Go-To Source For Pistons Coverage Tue, 21 May 2013 23:39:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Max http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/10/aging-corey-maggette-faces-long-odds-to-keep-getting-to-the-free-throw-line/comment-page-1/#comment-87281 Max Fri, 12 Oct 2012 21:14:52 +0000 http://www.pistonpowered.com/?p=11092#comment-87281 The stats and company are impressive but one point on Maggette's side is that it has never been historically easier to get to the line than the present era.   I'm almost amazed that the list only includes pre no hand check rule players because that was probably the biggest shift in terms of refs giving the offense the benefit of earning a foul in the entire history of the league.  The stats and company are impressive but one point on Maggette’s side is that it has never been historically easier to get to the line than the present era.   I’m almost amazed that the list only includes pre no hand check rule players because that was probably the biggest shift in terms of refs giving the offense the benefit of earning a foul in the entire history of the league.

I made a similar comment after watching the game about how I didn't see him having much of a role here. Assuming Knight and Stuckey are averaging 30-35 minutes each, and Bynum plays 15-20 minutes as the primary ballhandler off the bench, it's difficult to see what role is left for Maggette. The team needs a defense specialist who can spot up at the three point line, not another G/F to take the ball out of our top players' hands, even if he <strong>was</strong> successfully attacking the basket and drawing contact. I just really hope they sort out stuff like this as the season goes on. If we have another season without any trade activity, the management is doing the team a disservice.   I read this earlier.
