Official Pistons Summer League thread (old thread from 2006)

Let's see what the kids can do.

Rookies Amir Johnson, Alex Acker and Jason Maxiell will attend the team's summer camp in Las Vegas, and Dumars said one or two might be ready to make an impact next season.

Game 1 is July 8.

Here are the final stats from the 2005 squad (I wonder what Rodney Billups is up to?)

Europe.

Europe.

If only you were as quick with the smilie requests.

[Kstat]

THank god we arent sending Delfino back.

[Glenn]

I suppose our draft pick (#60) will be on the squad as well.

That is, if he's not a Euro-stash.

[Matt]

nice, i REALLY hope that Joe D was sincere about having a solid top 8 rotation, which might actually include some of the youngsters.

Amir played very well in the NBDL, so i hope he can tear up the summer league.

and Maxiell will devour the children of tourists in Vegas.

Good God. Watching Maxiell will be a treat.

[Uncle Mxy]

I'd love to see Maxiell actually make free throws. He shot 60-odd% in college, which is serviceable, but caught Ben Wallace disease after we started calling him a mini-Ben.

I think that Max and Amir will have a shot at getting some clock next year. Like I have been saying for a while now, Amir is something special. I really really like his game. It will be interesting to see how he preforms in the summer league.
