March 10th, an article was written about Tayshaun's production being the 4th/5th option with all five starters playing compared to being the 2nd/3rd option when one or more of the starters don't play.

According to that March 10th article:
With all starters- 12.3 pts 4.6 rebs 3.0 asts 42% fg 77% ft
With a starter missing- 20.5 pts 5.7 rebs 4.4 asts 54% fg 83% ft

Piston fans have always stated that if Tayshaun was more than a 4th or 5th option on the floor, he could put up numbers comparable to most of the top tier SFs that people put before Tay. Now we have the numbers to prove that.

As a second option, I'd take the long armed 6'9" SF who can put up 20.5 pts 6 rebs 4.5 asts on 55% fg and 85% ft while playing stellar defense and doesn't command a certain amount of minutes or shots to be happy.

However, I expect alot fo Granger and Deng picks from people.

Tayshaun's impact on the game is far better then his stats show, thats why I picked him right now.

without the starters AK is straight up ridonkulous... as a second option I really believe that he would be the best... as a 4th/5th he kinds sucks.
