- Amir should be a Jr @ Louisville right now.
- Right now Amir is being paid as if he were the 4th pick in the draft, after coming out after his sophmore season
- He's getting time, just not alot.
- He knows Dyess and Sheed are getting older and his time to shine is coming.
- He does not have the pressure (via media, fans, self-imposed) that Darko had.
Amir is in a dream situation and he knows it. I will say that I wish the Pistons would have committed to his development like the Lakers did with Bynum. In defense of the org. Bynum was a high 1st rd pick and a definite 7' center, Amir was a very late 2nd rd pick with a question mark about what position he would play. |
I simply can't see things in this kind of terms. All I see is a playoffs fast approaching. All I see is a young guy who can help us win the whole thing. But only if he plays extensively. Its not about AJ. Not one bit. Its about winning it all. AJ needs to play. Forget him. Remember the team. What is good for the team is AJ playing, getting better, and providing us a really good option to go to whenever Dyess, Sheed, or JMAX is in foul trouble.
