Who is your least favorite current Piston?

This might be cheating, but since we're technically still paying him... Josh Smith!

Aw man, that would be no contest.

It was Tolliver. I know he's a great character guy, but I just cringed every time I saw him play.
Now it's probably Bullock or Hillard because we've talked about them way too much because we've talked about KCP way too much WHILE it's clear that our starting SG has the most potential improvement to make and our backup SGs are the weakest part of our bench.

Same as poster above, was Tolliver plus Steve Blake.

Now? Ummm I don't know.. Baynes I guess?

If you're going to make me pick one, it'd be Reggie I guess. His OKC antics weren't the end of the world, but it was enough to make me shake my head. And I think he's one of the few parts of this machine that is replaceable.

Tough choice, I like pretty much everyone on our roster right now, hmm I guess my least favorite player on the current team is..... man I cant choose. Can I pick Ray Mccallum or something just cause hes at best going to be our 3rd string pg lol.

Reggie Jackson - I don't think he's a true contender caliber point guard and thus his existence here will hold this team back.

Thankfully, I really don't dislike any current Pistons. Of course, we've got precious small samples sizes on Bullock and Hilliard in meaningful minutes and we've never seen Smith, Leuer, Boban, Henry and Gbinije play for us, so that's half the roster that's really TBD. And I bring that up because, last season, Ersan was BY FAR my least favorite Piston; heck I'd even go so far as to say that, if not for Josh Smith, he would've been my least favorite Piston since the end of the "Going to Work" Era (more disliked than Gordon, Villanueva, etc.). And on paper, coming in, Ersan looked like a good fit at PF for us! But then he actually played ... and pump faked ... and pump faked ... and pump faked again until he'd destroyed our offensive rhythm. So the moral of the story is that I really can't answer this question until I see how our new players fit on our team and in our system, but for now (again, on paper!), I don't dislike anyone.

IDK right now, but it will probably be Ish Smith.

He definitely has the most upside to be hated.

I guess it's Lorenzo Brown, now that Dimwiddie is long gone. (Yes, I'm aware of the spelling)

f* cheater

Looking up and down the roster, this is really hard, which is a testament to how much of a badmofo (:wink:) SVG is. I hate to say this, but i would have to say RJ is my least favorite Piston based on last years Reg. Season performance. I thought he was a much better PG when we traded for him midseason, last year i felt he was out to get his at times, even if that is what SVG wanted. I am very curious to see if he takes any steps this year to make me eat this comment

I like them all. I get frustrated by RJ and Dre at time. I guess KCP, Mook, and SJ can do it too tho. Tobias did it in playoffs. I really don't have a least favorite, last time i remember having one was J. Smith or Charlie V. Hell didn't even mind Charlie to bad, lol.

Nobody left I really dislike.

I'll go with Reggie Bullock. He showed flashes but I just don't trust the guy and he's had character issues in the past.

Any of our free agent signings could easily get there if they don't contribute though.

Do tell

Drummond....

Boban...simply because he's making $7 mil and isn't likely to be a regular in the rotation.

Let's assume Baynes stays all season then bolts as a free agent

Let's also assume King Henry actually develops over the next year to the point we're gonna give him legit rotation minutes

Where & when will Boban get enough minutes to justify his contract?

Dre 33 - Baynes 15
Harris 30 - JL 18

Then:

Dre 33 - JL 15
Harris 30 - JL 8 - King 10

Wouldn't Leur playing Center be matchup based? I''m still skeptical if he can do that (idk haven't really watched him, hope so tho). I know Leur can't play Center against some of the Centers in the league so Boban would have to play. SVG didn't sign him for nothing.
