I guess i was so excited to see how rookie Greg Monroe would do in a pro setting..
I fail to notice that The Pistons were experimenting playing Daye at shooting guard..
And he actually played well at that position during Summer League..He certainly would be a matchup problem being 6’10..
He has the shooting skills to play there..But could he guard the much quicker players at his position?

The Pistons have an odd collection of talent..They are deep at every position except Center & Point Guard..But this move of trying is odd with All-Star Rip Hamilton already there & the recent signing of Tracy McGrady..

if he plays sg for the pistons their a lock to be back in the lottery

their lineup should be:

PG-Stuckey
SG-Hamilton
SF-Prince
PF-Jerebko

It makes no sense for them to play him at shooting guard when they are stacked at that position. They need to play him at the 3 and trade Prince. Prince is going to jump ship when his deal is up anyway. If I was Detroit I would play the young guys and use the vets to shore up the bench and get spot starter minutes based on match up.

The also need to trade Hamilton and Charlie V if they can. They need to also see if they can maybe move Stuckney and someone else and get a legit point guard.

Stuckney is nice but he is not a point guard

Mo Williams would be a better point guard for Detroit. Stuckney could play the 2 in Cleveland next to Sessions. Both players are in that 6’4″ range so defensively they should be able to handle it.

Mo Williams is not the best point guard but he has enough experience and playmaking skills to work better than Stuckney.

Cleveland would have to take on a contract of something to pull this off.

Every NBA team has talent, the question is having the RIGHT pieces or the level of talent… The Pistons DONT have the right pieces and the level of talent isnt up to par for them to make the playoffs…

Ben Gordon is shooting guard and they have too many of them so he may not get enough minutes to do much other than being a six man. T Mac is a swingman who can play 2 and 3. You have Prince, Daye at the 3 and Gordon, Hamilton at the 2. Unless a trade goes down they are too deep at some position and weak at others. Stuckney to me is more of a 2 and he is your point guard. Charlie V plays no D and could not start last year over a rookie who is pretty solid. Monroe can play the 4 and the 5. Those 3 you mentioned will have a hard time getting minutes.

There a mess, they have way too much log jam on the wings, no distributor, nothing up front. smh

PG – Stuckey, Bynum, White (no passers, all scoring combos)
SG – RIP, Gordon, Daye (One raw the other 2 are pure shooters)
SF – Prince, Tmac, Summers (3 question marks)
PF – Jerebko , Charlie V, Maxiell (LOL)
C – Monroe, Wallace (Monroe probably wont be able to guard centers and Wallace is old)

Theres not enough minutes or balls to go around on the wing and there 2 frontcourt starters are out of position

He saw some time at SG last season at the end of the year for what it’s worth.

Daye to me shouldn’t play much time next year either. He probably will play less than extended time, even though he does has potential on offense. He’s a guy that will probably see extended time in 2011-2012. He’s a little too raw right now to play more than like 20 mpg. He showed he can score if you run an offense through him in SL, but sharing shots with Rodney Stuckey, Rip Hamilton, Ben Gordon etc etc is different than playing with DaJuan Summers and Terrico White

I like the Rashard Lewis comparison. I think playing him at the sg is a bad idea. Hes still oversized for a sf at 6’11 and hes also very skilled for the position. For a 2-guard he would be bigger than everybody but slow and only adequately skilled for the position. I would keep putting weight on him and play him at the 3 where all of his tools could shine

I think the misconception is players Needing alot of weight but getting stronger is more important. I know some weak guys who are big but also skinny guys who are very very strong. Daye can stand to add weight but more importantly he needs to get stronger

[hiphopismylifeParticipant]

I agree with u to a degree about the weight but when you’re talking 6’11 and barely 200 lbs, he needs weight as well as strength

Yea, that talk of putting him at the 2 needs to slowly die down. His skill set makes him a prototypical 3 and in certain lineup situations a 4. Period!

he could play @ the 2, but for how long?
how many minutes a game?

the pistons have way too much wing depth.

is a project but he can be a superstar…..I don’t know about him playin the 2 though….its all about who you can guard and I don’t think he can guard many twos….he can’t really guard much of anything right now…

I like days offensive upside and at worst he will be a Fransisco Garcia type player, and his ceiling is probably Rashard Lewis, if he can add some muscle.

Here is how I see it..

If Kevin Durant, a man with a similar body type and a skill set that Daye dreams of, couldnt do it well, then Daye wont do it well.. Keep him at the 3 and hope for the best..
