I like the guy. Plays hard. Plays solid on both ends in limited minutes.. Seems like a good guy. Makes a good 15th man.

The Pistons have signed Eugene Omoruyi to a second 10-day contract. Not a surprise, as he’s appeared in five games in that stretch and has given the team a needed jolt of hustle and defense. Dwane Casey said yesterday that Omoruyi would be inked to a new deal.

Game chat going strong I see. Killian having another great game so far.

Lol Buddy B has been on the team the entire year. It’s ridiculous.

Eugene and RJ are playing like their careers are on the line. Which is a good thing. I finally figured out that Buddy B is on the team because his dad and Dave Bing are friends.

If the Pistons lose tonight, Casey should just pack up

Remarkably enough, the Pistons' offense seems to work pretty well with two big guys in the paint. What happened to the idea that unless there was a stretch 4 on the team the offense wouldn't be successful in "today's NBA"?

7 Pistons players with 8 or more points at the half has to be the highest number we've had in years and years. Can't get much more balanced scoring than that. Wiseman the only Piston with a negative +/- at the half.

And his dad somehow came to every game he's played! What a coincidence!

It seems like Wiseman gets absolutely hammered every time he has the ball in the paint and nothing ever gets called.

The worst team in the league will never get the benefit of any calls.

Pistons are #1 in the league in free throw attempts.

That blows my mind.

Only Killian and Wiseman are negative +/- right now...

Ok, Buddy--you can sit back down now.

I hate Weaver so much. Why the **** is Wiseman starting over Duren. What a **** (Please Use More Appropriate Word) GM we got and people will blame Casey for that.

They both need minutes, play the same position, and both played 24 minutes. Who cares who the starter is at this point in the season?

following Wiseman from afar. seems like he is settling down on offense playing more minutes. I like seeing his rebounding number up and he is getting some blocks. is his defensive play improving at all? I had high hopes for the guy and think he kind of got a raw deal in GS.

Duren, the rookie, has about the same career minutes as Wiseman. Season is basically over and it’s time to get some less experienced players more time on the floor.

I thought you’d be more focused on Boheims Pistons fantasy camp experience.

Maybe because when we got Wiseman he had played fewer minutes in the NBA than even Duran and Weaver wants to use the rest of the season getting him up to speed.

On top of that, I am thinking Weaver thinks he has a higher ceiling and that where he was drafted plays a role in his thinking.

What Wiseman does have is the best length on the team and that also may play a part in Weaver's thinking.

There is not a thing wrong with Wiseman starting as long as Duren gets plenty of run too. I am thrilled that we have both of them and think they will be a huge part of our near future.
