PISTONS CORNER: Johnson still growing into power forward role

Last year, the Pistons asked then-rookie Amir Johnson to learn a new position. They looked at his 6-foot-9, not-exactly-meaty frame and projected he'd develop into a small forward.

Joe D Gets His Guy
By Keith Langlois

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Joe Dumars liked everything he saw in the lanky kid from Kentucky who defied positional pigeon-holing. The way he anticipated plays before they unfolded. His poise amid a game’s chaotic final moments. The ability to handle the ball, and pass it, and shoot it. His willingness to defend.

Tay a future GM?
