    Associated Press: AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Hubert Davis was placed on waivers Tuesday by the Detroit Pistons.

    Davis has spent most of the season on the injured list with a strained left thumb and played in just three games.

    He was obtained from Washington, along with Richard Hamilton and Bobby Simmons, in exchange for Jerry Stackhouse on Sept. 11, 2002.

    Davis played in 43 games in 2002-03, averaging 1.8 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 7.6 minutes. His career 3-point field goal percentage of 44.1 is second in the NBA behind Steve Kerr.





    He is clearly and obviously on the down side of his career. The injury is of course a concern. On the other hand, he is (or is it was - I guess that is the $64,000 question) a great three point shooter. Would fit our style (though I don't know about his defence) and give us one more hand to try when the outside shots aren't falling.

    Don't know, do we really need any more ex-Knicks?

    I remember ALdridge or Stein or someone saying he's actually in decent shape and can contribute.

    The guy's one of the best 3-pt shooters in the NBA, but where would he get his minutes?

    It's Hubert and the correct answer to your question is no.
