It's
been a big off season in the motor city this summer for the Pistons
adding guys like Josh Smith, Chauncey Billups and now have added
Brandon Jennings via sign and trade for Brandon Knight, Khris
Middleton and Viachelslav
Kravtsov. The Compton,California native will be in the motor city for
the next 3 seasons while being payed a cool crisp 25 million $.
Some
say things happen for a reason but judging by this picture Jennings
heading to the Pistons seems to be destiny. As you can clearly see at
the top Jennings is pictured as a young boy with a white Grant Hill
#33 Pistons jersey with a basketball hands. Some can say this is a
dream come true but Jennings says “Lets
just say I’m smiling from ear to ear”.
So
clearly the Pistons have talent up and down the roster so now its
just about meshing all that talent together so they can become a
playoff team. Both Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings have a tendency to
jack up shots they don't need to take and characterizing some these
shots as “low percentage shots” would be a modest thing to do.
Looking at the Pistons front court of Josh Smith, Greg Monroe and
Andre Drummond I see that as the foundation of what they should be
and that’s a team that beats you up inside and on the glass with
their rebounding. Although Jennings was never the most efficient
shooter in Milwaukee he never had guys like Smith or Drummond to take
the attention off of him so he should see more open looks in the
offense but its his job to stay within that team offense and feed his
big men the ball.
So
after literally a whole presidential term of misery at the Palace in
Auburn Hills Pistons fans have a reason to come show up to the arena
and watch this talented roster play. I'm sure Mason is happy that
more fannies will be in the seats at the Palace this
year.....DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETRIOT BASKETBALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
