as i mentioned in another thread, yancy gates is a kid i really like. he was caught up in the brawl earlier this year but i don't fault him for that. it was a dumb, immature mistake which i probably would've made at that age too. (i made worse actually)

but back to my point, i loved what he did late in the year particular in the postseason tournaments. he is a massive body and has a really nice low post game- something we're definitely lacking. he's a very solid rebounder too and would add another dimension to what we already have up front. i'd give him a roster spot over j-max but unfortunately maxiell picked up his option so....we'll have to hope we find a spot for him. i think he could be a solid end of the rotation guy and a good situational player. there's a place in the nba for this kid IMO.

You forgot Bad Porn. I think either English or Middleton will end up in Europe and their summer league performance will decide who that is.

[Higherwarrior]

yeah you forgot maggette. i think english sticks for sure. middleton could be a guy to go to europe but i feel he's quite capable too. we have too much at SF but he could play some SG too. i'd hate to miss out on his growth and potential just because we ran out of roster spots.

i personally think ben is done because.....well......he's done. i don't see any way his body can handle another season. wouldn't mind bringing him back as a special assistant or something, but not as a player. i think that's a wasted roster spot.

Lotsa folks speculating about #Pistons roster. Front office was clear last week: Expect both English, Middleton to be on NBA roster.
