Discuss: Amir Johnson - Sioux Falls Skyforce Tracker at Detroit Pistons Fan Community - PistonsForum.com

I'm wondering if Brahma is being shopped because they know that Amir has a higher ceiling?...

Re: Amir Johnson - Sioux Falls Skyforce Tracker

NBA TV is showing a Sioux Falls game today, but apparently it's from last week, so no Amir in that one. It looks like whatever D-League games they show on NBA TV are about a week old. So maybe they'll show one of Amir's games next weekend.

Re: Amir Johnson - Sioux Falls Skyforce Tracker

recap

Quote:
Johnson was close to a double-double with 18 points and nine rebounds to go with two blocked shots.

“You know I’m not surprised at all,” Sioux Falls Skyforce head coach Mo McHone said. “You can tell why he [Amir] is an NBA guy. You can tell why they signed him. For a guy 19 years old, he’s got a great upside.”
Next is an away game, tonight at 9 EST against the Idaho Stampede.

Re: Amir Johnson - Sioux Falls Skyforce Tracker

All Amir is getting is exercise. He prooved all he needed to last year in the D-league. It's comming the time when he needs a little manhandling in the show to continue figuring things out.

Re: Amir Johnson - Sioux Falls Skyforce Tracker

Still I think they want him to bulk up a more. Still the Pistons aren't so good that he can't be our Bynum.
Merc, from what I've seen JMax is ready.

Re: Amir Johnson - Sioux Falls Skyforce Tracker

Frank Williams with 15 pts in the first quarter looked better than Flip has lately. Who own's his rights? Was it 4-5 from beyond the 3 pt arc?

Williams is their 3 point specialist. He's a free agent.

I'd rather wait untill we see something in the NBA from Amir before we go shipping off a player who has been proving all year he's an impact player in the NBA.

Point well received... however I'm sure Joe & Flip are well aware of how these two match up against each other (Amir & Jmax)... I do recall an interview with Flip talking about how Amir needed to bulk up because he was having difficulty holding position down low.
