I thought this was printed somewhere already. I can't remember who it was.

The name Alejandro Sanchez might not mean much to most Pistons fans. But Pistons rookies know his story well.

He was a rookie training camp invitee a few years ago. Apparently he didn’t take well to the usual newbie treatment — the playful taunts and small demands of bringing doughnuts and carrying bags. Sanchez, the story goes, talked back.

And so one day the veterans taught him a lesson. They tied him to a chair with athletic tape and rolled him through a cold shower and out to center court at the practice facility.

I think that's what he was talking about.

Detroit Pistons to Haze Newbies

Hazing has been something that is common with any team oriented organization when new comers come in. The Detroit Pistons for a long time have played pranks on new comers. A few years back Alejandro Sanchez, a newcomer at the time, was taped up to a chair that was then rolled through a freezing shower and into center court.

I'm always suprised at the number of donuts that NBA players seem to require.

Hey, Tay, can you run some statistical analysis and compare donuts consumption by NBA players and by police?
Thanks.

I heard somewhere that the donut consumption by police riding around squad cars goes down when their is a male and female cop in the same car.

Alejandro Sanchez? Wasn't he from Puerto Rico? I know Juan "Pepe" Sanchez wouldn't let anyone mess with him like that.

Sanchez, 22, played for the Puerto Rican league champions, Bayamon, last season. He was coached by Flor Mendez and averaged 14.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Sanchez shot 58% from the field, 38% from the three-point line and 74% from the free throw line. He was named Defensive Player of the Year in the Puerto Rican league and was a member of the Puerto Rican National Team.

Sanchez was a Pistons rookie in the same year as this fella.

I wonder why that would be?
