    "Morey is a thug!!"

    It definitely looks that way so far. I'm hoping Dmo, Jones, and Lamb spend the next 2 months hitting the gym hard! Royce too.

    After having watched them against their peers, all these guys could have realistically gone in the top 10 this year. Royce would have been borderline, but I think you could still make an argument. I almost wish I could hibernate for 2 months :p

    Do you do this in real life too? Finding what you want to hear and taking it out of context.

    "Hey that girl smiled at me! She wants the buttsecks from the postbadlee!"

    I want these guys to do well too. Just wait until the season actually starts, man.

    My god you guys obsession with Morey kills me. I hope for you guys sake we start playing well so he doesn't get fired because I'd be worried about some of y'alls mental state if we got rid of him.....

    It will be nice to see the production on the court this season for this coming season. I am very excited to get this season going because this team will surprise a lot of nay sayers on this BBS.

    I worry about players hitting the gym too hard and it throwing off their shot, hurting their movement, restricting their movement. Look at Lamb, everyone says he needs to bulk up, and he could definitely use some more muscle/weight, but if it throws off his shot, oh man. please don't let it effect his shot.

    Morris and patterson don't belong in that list yet, give them 2 more seasons.

    He just the team a 7 foot defensive young stud and earned his boss major $$$ via Linsanity. I'd be worried about Les Alexander's mental state if he fired Morey after all his awesome moves this offseason.

    Remember when everybody was mad that Morey couldn't trade all those draft picks to get Andre Drummond? Boy summer leauge changes things. I read a piece on Drummond on epsn somewhere and it said the Pistons was shocked when they learned he didn't understand the basic basketball terminologys.

    Indeed, but wait a few years, and it may very well look bad again. Drummond is a great bet at #9 IMO. At #2, maybe it's too risky. But #9..... the Pistons have silently been very shrewd over the last 3 years.

    IIRC, he doesn't understand many team defense concepts.

    like, what do you do when you are in one spot or another versus PnR, and what could put your team in trouble.

    he wasn't taught them - or he forgot.
    It could very easily be a bit of both.
    I mean, if a guy gets you 7 blocks and 4 steals a game in school... because he's so dominant physically..... and you are his HS coach.... do you focus teaching him defense? Do you focus teaching him where to move within team defense?
    Maybe, if you care about his future. But for your team it's not so important. Just let him roam in the paint, and dominate.

    From what i read, he's a fast learner. He's smart. He's just far away.
    So in the end, it probably doesn't really matter much.
