29 years old
Drafted 2011 out of Duke with the 33rd pick by the Detroit Pistons

Questions for the upcoming season:

1: Will he be on the team by the time the trade deadline comes around?
2: Is there any hope for him getting back to being playable?
3: If he plays, is Billy Donovan nuts?

and anything else you can think of

[ThunderTime]

1. Lets hope not
2. in the G-leaugue yes there is still hope
3. Billy is nuts, still lets hope it doesnt mean Singler is getting any minutes.

1: Will he be on the team by the time the trade deadline comes around?
2: Is there any hope for him getting back to being playable?
3: If he plays, is Billy Donovan nuts?

1) Yes
2) He is the best non-starting veteran froward on the roster. Which means that as the roster stands he should play. The exception would be if they realize Ferguson should be the backup SF and Huestis should get first crack at the backup PF job.
3) Nope. It would be a rare case of Billy playing the best player. Who else is he going to play? McDermott and Grant are both inferior options to Singler, which is pretty sad considering how bad Singler is.

Yep
Nope
Yep but not because of this.

Can't wait for him to look alright in preseason & then go back to being worthless as soon as the games are real again.

[backstreets]

1. Without a doubt.
2. Is there any hope for him getting back to being playable? Don't be surprised if he cracks the starting rotation with PP coming off surgery.
3. He is solid all around. He'll play more than fans will expect.

1. Probably. If he's dealt that means we've probably attached an asset to get rid of him. He could be salary filler at the deadline as our 4mil TPE will have expired by then.

2. Maybe? Really he needs to get back to being a better spot up shooter. His defense is passable for a bench combo forward albeit not great. He puts in a lot of effort and is decently long. If he can finish plays and defend he can get back to being what he's paid to be.

3. No. The regular season is a long grind. It's important everyone on the roster logs minutes here and there even if it's just for the sake of letting others get rest.

Donovan played him in the playoffs. There should be nothing that surprises us any more.
