Johnson To Get Continue Getting Minutes

[RipCity32]

RealGM Staff Report -
Pistons' coach Flip Saunders told the Detroit Free Press that he plans to continue playing forward Amir Johnson even though the matchups aren't always favorable.

Saunders wants to allow his younger bench players to earn their minutes as the team heads into the second half of the season.

"We need to see what we have with a lot of those guys," Saunders told the Free Press. "We can't expect to not play them, and then all of a sudden playoff time comes and we play them. So we might as well find out how some of our guys match up -- especially with these guys because there's a chance we could see them in the playoffs."

YES!

I know longer care if we get Webber, but if we do I wouldn't mind. But I love watching Amir play. Hopefully Saunders sticks to his words and REALLY get's into the rotation, and not just like here and there. I want him to be a regular ya no?

I read an article that said if Amir would of went to the draft like last year he would of been a lottery pick. So Dumars again with an amazing pick.

Poor Young Jarvis now.

Thank God, this is why I havent been liking Flip that much, he doesnt play some of the bench players enough. So it's good to hear this.

Meh, I think Jarvis will still get his time.

Those will be cut due to Affalo & Johnson.

 

[RipCity32]

Yea, I like Jarvis though

But I also read an article that said Afflalo's minutes will be cut, so I'm not to sure how it will play out.
