I'm not counting Drummond, because he should be starting.  Most of the time he was the lone scoring thread and still scores.  It wasn't until he started playing with Drummond that other parts of his game started improving, because he finally had some help.

A few facts for you, he had three other offers prior to signing back with the Pistons. They were from the Heat and Lakers, granted not as much money, and Celtics who he played for briefly. I agree he won't be here next season, but he will be in the league playing for some winning team. Have you ever attended any of the practices? Has Will every complained about anything that you know of? Has he gotten us back into more games than out of? Do you even know about the 4in 1out or High Pick and roll offense the second team runs, the only two plays? Who else on the second unit can create their own shot? Who else besides him wants to actually play for the Pistons? I ask these questions because you seem not to know, or care. So now I ask you, attend a practice and see which of our players gives 100% and which dated back to when Will got here have been negative and still are. I ask you to research what options come from our two plays so you can better understand what happens on the court and why. Finally go down our roster, who plays with more heart and is more dedicated to this team? I am a Piston fan so I know the answers, what are you?

And typically, you'd be right. But a person can't put all his weight behind a punch. I have boxed people both 5'2", 160 lbs and 6'4", 160 lbs. Trust me, it's not the same thing at all. I wasn't even referring to form. I was referring to thickness/stockiness, or how much of the weight could be put into the punch. That said, I agree, I'd rather not be punched at all. I was just responding to the comment that "he can take a hit to the stomach from a pg wills size". I understand what you’re getting at. And typically, you’d be right.

Hell if this was Hockey we would be praising the grit, keep at it Will, keep playing hard. ehhh no biggie for me…I’m a fan of 80′s style basketball; a little “rough and tumble” is ok with me.

Heck, he's rarely foul out or pick up a T. Jason Maxiell is the coaches pet that losing his cred as a tough guy real fast in this club.

And look at their bodies. I'd rather be hit by Hansbrough than by Bynum. Being short doesn’t make someone worse at punching. And look at their bodies. I’d rather be hit by Hansbrough than by Bynum.
