Since Acker is technically under contract to a Greek team, they may not want their star guard playing in a scrimmage league.
That means that Joe or someone else from Pistons will have to go over to Greece to watch the guy play. They'd have to take a closer look to see if he could help next season.

Sorry, I didn't mean NBDL. I meant the Summer League.

Re: Samb & Acker tracker

Man I can't wait to see these guys... Samb and Amir that is.

I've seen enough of Acker to know what he brings to the table.

Didn't say anything negative about him at all...

Re: Samb & Acker tracker

Yeah, just kinda dismissive. It's ok. I have some players I like, and I will hug them pretty hard, but at the end of the day, I like whoever plays and plays well, and generally dislike whoever plays poorly, so it all comes out in the wash.

I saw him play quite a bit for the stones and in the summer league before that, and he's old enough that he's not going to improve that much... compared to the samb's and amir's of the world.

I really like what Acker can bring I just share a lot of the concerns some scouts seem to have. (Passion, lateral quickness, explosion).

I see a lot of Steve Smith and Allan Houston in his game.

Re: Samb & Acker tracker

Chauncey Billups, Bruce Bowen, and Ben Wallace improved a lot after Acker's age.

Re: Samb & Acker tracker

Acker really reminds me of a less talented Derrick Anderson. I think that he'll probably be a decent reserve in the L, but I'm not drooling over him. Still, you could do a lot worse than have him coming off of your bench.
