Thoughts

Were we sold a bill of goods with Amir Johnson? Thus far this year, he has played sparingly at best. In fact, I can only recall one time where he had significant minutes in a game that mattered(LA Lakers game).

He is only averaging about 9 minutes a game, but most of those come in blowouts. This past week he only got off the bench in 2 games.

For all the hype we heard from the media, fans, and even from the Pistons organization, this is a bit deflating.

If Amir cannot beat out the likes of the venerable Nazr Mohammed in practice for playing time, than maybe the Pistons overvalued his worth.

Its not like JoeD hasnt done it before.

What'd you think of this?
