Quote:
Pistons president Joe Dumars said after the 2007 playoffs that he anticipated Amir Johnson would crack the playing rotation this season. Dumars has said repeatedly that he thinks Johnson’s abilities mesh perfectly with the trend toward a more athletic brand of basketball.
The rough edges left on Johnson’s game are accumulating fouls too quickly – he had eight in his only Vegas game – and an inconsistent perimeter shot. But his shot-blocking, offensive rebounding and shot-making potential have the front office convinced Johnson is ready to assume a greater role in his third season.

PISTONS: On the Verge
That was the kind of stuff we were reading about Amir all summer. Yes I was hooked. Convinced they were serious about playing him and convinced that he would help make an impact.
