Hannes (Stockholm, Sweden): What do you think about Jonas Jerebko playing center in Summer League? According to Darrell Walker, he is more of a power forward or center than a small forward, which I think is ridiculous. Not even in Italy did he play center. If the Pistons give Jonas a contract, they will gain a whole country of fans since they would make him the first Swedish player in the NBA.
Langloistat: It’s a pretty good bet that they’re going to keep him in Detroit, Hannes. That’s the plan, at least. I’m not sure Joe Dumars and his staff share Walker’s feelings that Jerebko is more of a four or five than a three, but the real reason he was playing him at center was to give all three of their draft choices playing time and Jerebko was best suited to the task. As for gaining Sweden as a rooting partner, great. With all the Swedish influence on the Red Wings, maybe Michigan and Sweden can strike partnerships on many levels.
