Some front-line scoring would help the Pistons' backcourt, which has carried the load so far this season. Off-season acquisition Charlie Villanueva is about the only scoring threat in the post for the Pistons, who get a bulk of their points from guards Ben Gordon, Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum. Ben Wallace (3.6 points) isn't supposed to score. His assignment is to play defense, rebound...

Photo by KCIvey Yesterday the Washington Post asked a number of local political watchers, myself included, if we thought Mayor Adrian Fenty would be re-elected in 2010 . Some said yes, others said no. I stressed that without a credible challenger – and none has yet stepped forward – Fenty would cruise to a second term. Well, if that capable challenger ends up being D.C. Council Chair Vincent...

Now backing up Ben Wallace in Detroit, Brown is happy for his former teammates and is pleased with Andrew Bynum's progress. Did the Lakers send a championship ring to Kwame Brown?

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There were many heroes in the Pistons' 96-74 opening victory over the Grizzlies on Wednesday night. The headlines were dominated by Ben Gordon and Rip Hamilton combining for 47 points to momentarily put to rest doubts whether the two shooting guards could coexist. But when first-year coach John Kuester was asked about the duo's performance, he talked more about...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Pistons coach John Kuester has maintained that Ben Wallace has a lot left to offer. He backed up his words Wednesday by naming the 13-year veteran the starting center for that night's 96-74 season-opening win against the Grizzlies. The other choice was Kwame Brown, but Kuester likes the defensive emphasis of Wallace to start games.

Kwame Brown missed the final two preseason games with a nagging hand injury, but he received good news over the weekend when tests revealed it wasn’t fractured. He’ll play through the injury, finally providing an excuse for his notoriously poor handle. From Ted Kulfan: “Maybe I’ll fumble a few passes here and there, but I do [...]

Being a Bucks fan I started to do some research on the Bucks lottery pick, Brandon Jennings and I came across a site, statsheet.com, that combines all recruiting rankings for a given year. I think it shows some patterns regarding when some of the past HS kids busted and which ones were legit. It appears quite evident that when a player or two are the consensus top two, they rarely bust. The problem
