 Re: Amir Johnson - Detroit Piston Tracker
Quote:
Johnson has been dominating the developmental league and blocked six Philadelphia shots, but also missed nine of 12 shots and committed five fouls. On one possession, he had two shots blocked by Samuel Dalembert in a span of five seconds.
"Amir's still got a ways to go," Saunders said. "During one timeout, Chauncey (Billups) hit him on the top of the head and reminded him that this isn't the NBDL. He can't just launch shots over everyone in this league."
Johnson had already figured that out. "It was pretty tough out there -- this isn't like the D-League," he said. "It's taken me two years to get this comfortable with my game, and I have to keep going."
