I'm going to listen on the radio.

Anybody that drives 26 hours for a D-League game is insane... maybe unless they are playing in it. Still.

NBA Development League: Amir Johnson Player Info

Amir and the Skyforce are on NBA TV right now, as I post this.

Amir looks niiiice... real niiiice

If I was still in Detroit, I would split the gas and the driving. Sounds like a really fun time. Plus, you know with the D League you will get to sit a couple of seats behind the bench.

For those that missed the game there was an added bonus.... Rick Kamla (sp) interviewed Ryan Hoover (director of player development)... he gave more insight into the Pistons brass thinking than any of our reporters have all season.
On Amir... "he's extremely active... we're high on Amir... he doesn't shoot many 3's, that's not his game but he give s you shot blocking, runs the court very well ... he just wants to play... he wanted to stay with Fayetteville last year because he enjoys playing so much...etc"

On Maxiell, he's shown us that he's ready to contribute and be a force using is body. Forgot the rest :^(

On Samb "When anyone in our organization talks about Samb we get a big smile on our face... we were lucky to be able to draft him... he's a big time shot blocker and rebounder.. he's still a couple years away but we're very excited about him".

On Acker..." He has a huge future with our team... he can score in a variety of ways handle the ball and distribute... he has a high basketball IQ"... Kamla "One of the leading scoreres in the Euroleagues"

Blalock... "tough kid from Boston big body long arms can press and get up on you... hasn't shot much but we don't need that on our team"

On Chauncey coming back... we're hoping by Wednesday but it's day to day".

Well folks, our secret is out of the bag... Amir was all over the place today... even showing handles getting to the rack... the price of signing him is going up as we speak.
I think he already has at least 5 block shots with 6 minutes left in the 4thr and 21 pts so far.
I think he's done for the game (sits with 5= min left).

Amir's got his shades on (bright future).
