What’s Going on World?

John W. Davis here.  I think the Most Important Piston rankings are going well.  Hopefully counting down the 2008-09 Pistons from 14 to 1 gives everyone (including me) new insight and respect for all of our players.  Number 12 has to be Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiick Saaaaaaaaambb!!!  He is full of potential but until he gets his strength up he wont be able to consistently help us.  Until he is 245 or 250 he just wont be able to bang inside.

On the positive side, the man can shoot the heck out of the ball.  He has a legit 15 footer and if he every gets some size on his frame he could actually start in this league.  His ability to stretch a defense would be a great asset.  Even if he is still a bit slim, I think he should get alot more playing time this year because he is not getting any younger.  He will soon be 24 and every season he doesnt get NBA PT the further behind he will be from contributing.  Five years from now when he is 29, I want him and Amir blocking shots together, with Stuckey pushing the point with Big WALT SHARPE on the wing.  You can’t tell me thats not a great squad.

Right now he is the second best blocker on the team behind Amir and one of the better shooting big men and thats including Sheed and Dice.  Give the man 10 mins every once in a while and we might see a little bit of Cheick Samb magic.
