They’ll know more, of course, after getting to work with all three players during the Las Vegas Summer League in a few weeks. The competition should be fierce for minutes at the two forward spots with Daye, Summers and Jerebko joined by last year’s second-rounders, Walter Sharpe and Deron Washington, in addition to Trent Plaisted, who more than likely will play center in Vegas. It’s likely Washington will get the majority of his minutes at shooting guard because of the roster overload at forward, which will also give the Pistons a better idea of how his offensive game has matured in one impressive season in Israel.
It’s also clear that the heat is turned up on Sharpe, who had some punctuality and other issues of professionalism as a rookie.
This much is certain: With at least seven players on their Las Vegas roster who the brass believes has the chance to be on their NBA roster either this year or soon – Daye, Summers, Jerebko, Plaisted, Washington, Sharpe and Will Bynum, who is playing at his choice – it will be a far more compelling Summer League season than usual.
I’ll be in Las Vegas sending reports back on all of those players – and, hey, it’ll also be my debut on Twitter, assuming I’m sharp enough to figure out how to do it.
