I just want to make a note of what each player should focus on while playing in summer league.
Following is the Pistons Summer League Roster:
| PLAYER | POS | HT | WT | COLLEGE | BIRTHDATE | NBA EXP. | |
| He is injured. Too bad he had a shot as the 14th man on the roster. | Alex Acker | G | 6-5 | 185 | Pepperdine | 1/21/83 | 1 year |
| He needs to try to score 30 points every game. Show us he is not afraid to shoot. | Arron Afflalo | G | 6-5 | 215 | UCLA | 10/15/85 | 1 year |
| Who? No seriously. He is almost 28. Hopefully he learned something from Euro ball. | Derrick Allen | F | 6-8 | 238 | Mississippi | 7/17/80 | R |
| He has a shot to be the 3rd pg especially with Acker hurt. He needs to be a bulldog on D and be a tough little yellow jacket. | Will Bynum | G | 6-0 | 185 | Georgia Tech | 1/4/83 | 1 year |
| A Detroit product, HS and College. He has a chance to show that he can compete on this level. Maybe in 2-3 years he can make a NBA Roster. | Ryvon Coville | F | 6-9 | 250 | Detroit | 3/1/84 | R |
| This guy is a bull. Rebounded with the best of them in college. If he can do it in Summer League, he could stick like a Reggie Evans. 270 makes him a really big boy. | Kentrell Gransberry | F/C | 6-9 | 270 | South Florida | 8/1/85 | R |
| Amir. The Valley Boy. Soft as Cotton no mo’. Play Hard. Dont get hurt. Show people an inside /outside game. I know you can do it. Amen. | Amir Johnson | F | 6-9 | 210 | Westchester HS (Los Angeles) | 5/1/87 | 3 years |
| Well I hear Trent can run a 4.4 or 4.5 40 yard dash. You better be the 1st big up the court everytime or you are never making our roster. | Trent Plaisted | F | 6-11 | 245 | BYU | 10/20/86 | R |
| Mr. Samb. Show off that jumper boy! Make Mike Curry play you next year. You aren’t getting any younger. | Cheikh Samb | C | 7-1 | 195 | Senegal | 10/22/84 | 1 year |
| Show us you were worth the pick. We have alot invested in you even if you were a 2nd Round pick. Be the best 2nd rounder in Summer League. | Walter Sharpe | F | 6-9 | 245 | Alabama-Birmingham | 7/16/86 | R |
| Detroit Renaissance product. Enough Said. He will impress. He is simply a smart, efficient ball player. | Marcus Stout | G | 6-4 | 195 | Fordham | 6/20/86 | R |
| DON’T GET HURT! PLEASE DONT GET HURT! | Rodney Stuckey | G | 6-5 | 205 | Eastern Washington | 4/21/86 | 1 year |
| Nate’s boy. Show us some athleticism and defense and you can make the roster in 2009. | Deron Washington | G/F | 6-7 | 210 | Virginia Tech | 12/12/85 | R |
COACH: Michael Curry, 1st Year *He needs to start learning his team from the position and outlook of being the man in charge. The players who are apart of the rotation playing in summer league, (The Bench Babies) will be a major factor. They have to play in 08-09 for the sake of the future of our franchise.
I’m Out.

Hey Guys,
Good show, though you guys spend a little too much time fantasizing over who we will never get rather than on realistic prospects. AND you are way too hard on Chauncey. He gave us a lot playing with injuries, more than Sheed. Billups will never be Isaiah, but I’d like to see him around one more year to help Stuckey with the transition. Remember we took Boston to 6 games with a bad coach. Now we have a good one and Walter Sharpe to boot!
Now, more importantly, time for you guys to dig into those deep pockets and buy a pot! I recently updated my website. Take a look when you get a chance.
All the best,
John
I fly in to Mi. on Friday. Can’t wait.

-Top Listener Email: Richard from Howell, Michigan
I just wanted to share a video that our dear listener Richard edited and posted on Youtube.
The video is about Ben Wallace. On Episode 58, Richard emailed us and asked a simple but interesting question.
Hey guys,
what do you think about Ben Wallace? Do you think he will ever wear a Pistons uniform again?
I think if we traded Chauncey and Maxiell for him we could win another Championship with Stuckey running the point.
-Richard
Obviously we know how Richard feels especially after watching that Nostalgic video. Where did that Ben Wallace of old go?
If you want to know where Deven and I stand on this issue tune in to Episode 58!
