Try to find some stats that show that Primoz Bresec should be the NBA's MVP this year.

Brezec's team is undefeated this year when Primo plays 2, 15, 18, or 20 minutes. If his coaches were smart enough to notice this, he would never lose a game.

Re: Amir Johnson - Detroit Piston Tracker
forget stats. It's very simple.

Amir in game = good
Amir not in game = bad
Amir DNP = very bad

Problem solved

Re: Amir Johnson - Detroit Piston Tracker
How about the NBA efficiency stats?

NBA.com:

Amir gets a 6.9 efficiency rating

He isn't as efficient as these former Pistons:

Ron Murray (7.2)
Nazr (10.1)
Darko (9.9)

But he does beat Chris Webber (6.8)

And he is way more efficient than Primoz (2.5)

Yesterday = barely beating the Spurs (who aren't really the Spurs right now anyway); Bowen out; Almost choked the game away from fatigue.

Now you are just being mean to the Amir fans....

I'm pretty sure Amir is our secret weapon against the Spurs and Flip was sandbagging.

It's about the minutes. That's like saying he's not as good a rebounder as Tayshaun, because he averages less per game.

Now efficiency per 48 minutes... He's tops on the team. Just under Carmelo Anthony. Above Chris Paul, Baron Davis, Tyson Chandler, Dwyane Wade, AI, JO, AK47, T-Mac, Brandon Roy, David West, Chauncey, etc. 23rd in the league overall if you take out the garbage time-only guys who have only played a handful of games. He's WAY ahead of Ratliff, Dice, Sheed, and Max.

Again, you can twist stats to say what you want a lot of times, but there is no arguing the fact that he puts up numbers. You'll have a better chance if you stick to calling him "inexperienced".

Re: Amir Johnson - Detroit Piston Tracker
A lot of us may not like seeing Amir's PT fluctuate, but he doesn't seem to mind.

Quote:
The plan for Amir Johnson this season was to get him playing more. But that doesn't mean he'll see action in every game, evident by him not playing (coaches decision) against San Antonio.

"We had a talk as a group the other day, just about where we're at and what we have to do," Saunders said. "Guys have to understand one night you might be called upon, another you might not. And whether you're called upon to play five (minutes) or 20, that you have to be ready in order to do that."
Johnson said he knew his playing time this season was probably going to fluctuate.

"I'm fine with that," Johnson said. "I just want to help us keep on winning, and make sure I'm ready whenever I get my number called."

San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich, whose Spurs tried to sign Johnson this past summer, said he likes the way the Pistons have brought the 20-year-old along.
"He's just going to get better and better," Popovich said. "A lot of people around the league realize what a talent he is, and I think Detroit has done a great job of bringing him along slowly; not making him do too much too soon. He's done it the right way. He's learned how you have to play in this league, and what it takes to become a contributor. He's becoming more of a contributor as each year passes by. He's going to be an important player for them in the future."

Re: Amir Johnson - Detroit Piston Tracker
Even if he did, he wouldn't say.

Besides the kid's only 20. We obviously know better.

He should be playing.

Re: Amir Johnson - Detroit Piston Tracker
Amazing as the skills he has displayed, Amir's attitude the last couple of years has been even better.

Interesting to hear Pop giving props to the Pistons for bringing him along slowly.
