English needs to play and become a representative of this team. He would almost get a pass on bad production due to his likable demeanor and kander.

I think Singler is more a Sf and English should get some minutes at Sg.
The problem is Tayshaun has played well this season.

Here’s what the pistons should do.
give up on the playoffs this season. start tanking now
trade prince for a late first rounder to a contender
move singler to sf, english to sg, and let knight play out the season at the point. also give middleton some time so we know if he’s good
if knight shows something by the end of year, leave him there.
if not, slide him to shooting guard where he seems to be more suited since his best looking shots are spot ups and it doesn’t seem like any of his drives result in passes.
throw a ton of money at kyle lowry in free agency.
through tanking we should get a top 5 pick where we should draft a sf. shabazz (if we’re lucky),poythress or porter.
This gives us a fringe all star point guard to pair with two future all stars in drummond and monroe, an athletic/skilled sf, and a sg who can shoot the three well and get to the hoop. get rid of cv and this gives us our best shot at top 4 in the east for the next 4 years if we can keep all our players.
Of course all this is dependent on Frank being willing to tank which won’t happen bc he’ll be fired if he has another bad year, so dumars should either fire him now and tell the next guy to tank this season or guarantee frank his job next season as long as he tanks.

“Most of your guards have played awful this season”

For all the talk about Frank, Drummond, Singler THIS is the issue with this team. Our best guard is a Small Forward playing out of position! Even if you believe Knight should be the starting PG because we need to develop him and find out if he’s out future starting PG, you’ve got to admit that he’s a below average starting PG right now. I’m OK with Stuckey as the backup PG (please God let Will Bynum remain on the bench the rest of the season, nice guy horrible NBA player). We need a real starting SG and capable backup. I really feel that English should be getting a few minutes here to see if he can be the backup next year.

We should be looking to trade some of our SF for a serviceable 2 guard (much easier then trying to trade of big men), or planning on making a run on someone this offseason. Although I have no idea if there are any SG worth making a run at this off-season.

It is interesting to see Stuckey’s play improve as the leader of the second unit. Honestly, I am not sure what to make of him anymore.
