Re: #4 - Pistons/Spurs
Ausar should play and be the man for the team tonight IMO. Put the ball in his hands and let him lead the team and see how he does.

Re: #4 - Pistons/Spurs
All the other high draft picks are being sat for the 4th game so it's more than likely that Ausar will as well, unfortunately.
It's not so much about keeping the stars out for precautionary reasons but also to give fringe guys a chance to make an impression. Not that I agree with that decision.

"Sit him out so he's ready for pre-season"
"Sit him out so he's ready for the regular season"
"Sit him out so he's ready for the playoffs"
Just sit a guy forever and he'll never be injured! If a guy is hurt, sit him an extra game as a precaution, but I think guys are becoming injured because of the intermittent playing. They're not machines. The body can't turn on and off that easily without that risk of injury. Look at the guys who never miss a game. I think it builds physically and psychologically. Mikal Bridges and Saddiq Bey (to my understanding) have never missed a game.
I'd trade a lot for Mikal Bridges, and hope for their demise. And I know Phoenix is on the clock, and Booker might wanna play for his hometown team with Draymond Green?

No, we don't need injuries. These summer league games mean nothing

Re: #4 - Pistons/Spurs
Damn it i missed (missing)the Monty interview. What did he have to say? First time I'm interested in what a Pistons coach has to say in like 7 years.

Said a lot of the same stuff he said at his into press conference. Says he's impressed with both rookies'leadership on the court. Says a lot of vet players have been in town going through stuff with the SL team, which has been good for team building.
