I love AJ cracking the rotation and the way he is playing. The Pistons need that energy he immediatly brings - with J-Max, they can wreak havoc on an opposing team both offensively and defensively.

However, the two of them will be extremely foul proned, they will get no respect from the refs and a good opposing coach would attack instead of avoiding them.

Having said that, it would be up to Flip to play them at the right time and against the right matchups. I say go fro it, and let`s see what happens.
AJ will get lots of respect from the refs by the end of the year. He is not foul prone. He is inexperienced and as he gets more minutes his foul rate will drop significantly.

You can see improvement already in his defense in that he is using his feet and body a lot more and his jumping a lot less than at the beginning of the year.
