Just caught most of (recorded the whole thing for later) the Celtics game.

Cheikh Samb definitely has upside. He needs a lot of seasoning to have a chance to be very productive in the NBA, but he's definitely got the work ethic, hustle, instincts, size and determination to succeed.

This will probably come down to how the Pistons develop him.

Will Blalock is not all that bad either. You can see he has some flashy passing skills and with some work on his defensive technique, could be an effective backup point guard in a year or two.

Bear in mind that Devin Harris of the Mavs doesn't really possess much of a jump shot either, and I'd say Blalock isn't the finisher he is, but is probably as good a passer.

Lucic cut his hand in a fight with Michael Komisarek. "I'll be fine," he said. "(X-rays are) negative, but there's so many broken bones in there from before you can't really tell."
