#13 Most Important Piston: Will Bynum (Please excuse his HOPS!)
Who? The Next Mike James!
What’s Going on World?
John W. Davis here. Ranking Will Bynum as the 13 Most Important Piston might be low to some people because Will Bynum is in line to be the Pistons third PG and partially fill that little Lindsey Hunter role. I actually like the number 13 for Bynum. My birthday is August 13th, so naturally 13 is my favorite number.
WILL BYNUM CAN LITERALLY JUMP OUT OF THE GYM!
Anyway, I see this season as an opportunity for Bynum to prove he should really be a Number 2 point guard. If you know anything about Will Bynum you know that he has Chicago street creed just like another former Piston Isiah Thomas. This bodes well for Bynum because Chi-town PG’s are known to really fill it up!
SEND IT IN LIL’ FELLA!
I see Bynum as the 2008-09 version of Mike James but a much better athlete and that’s a really good thing. You can’t teach athleticism and that trait can translate into a pesky above average defender. Bynum looked good in Summer League playing tenacious water bug defense. From his Chi-town, University of Arizona, Georgia Tech, NBDL and Macabi Tel Aviv days, he has proven on every level that he can really fill it up.
MAYBE WE SHOULD BUT HIM AT CENTER! THAT BLOCK COULD REPLACE BEN WALLACE FINALLY!
One more thing in Bynum’s corner is Michael Curry’s involvement as upper league management for the NBDL a few years ago. Bynum was the NBDL Rookie of the Year during his stint. Curry values the NBDL and knows what Bynum can do. Joe D knows what he can do as well. It’s just a matter of time that Piston fans know what he can do as well.
Enjoy this Will Bynum You Tube Mix Tape! The man has hops(and overall game)!
Peace,
John W. Davis
I THINK WE JUST GOT A FREE AGENT STEAL!

Bynum definitely has got game and hops, but compared to Deron, Bynum looks like he is stuck in the mud.
Check these out.

Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike.
D Wash can definitely sky but he is 6′7.
Will Bynum is barely 5′11. You have to give it to Bynum just for being a little man. He reminds me of a poor man’s Nate Robinson with his hops.
Good thing we have Deron Washington as a draft pick and can bring him over in a year or two.
He can have a dunk contest with Will Bynum for a roster spot.

Right, that’s a big height difference there. You definitely need to have a lot of strength to be able to dunk at 5′11″.
I can’t wait to see Bynum on the floor. It’s always exciting to see new Pistons and see what they do for your team.
