<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <div class="bi">Important Part Of The Equation</div> <div> <span style="font-style: italic">Oct 8</span> - Is Nazr Mohammed in the rotation?</p> </p> For sure. The Pistons open the season at Miami and Orlando, teams with a lot of size up front. Six of the next 13 games will be against teams with size up front, as well. But that's just one reason why Mohammed will likely play 20-plus minutes per game.</p> </p> He is the only true center on the roster (Cheikh Samb is ticketed to spend most of the season in the D-League, at Fort Wayne), and both starting front court players -- Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyess -- are susceptible to early foul trouble. Mohammed, after being cast aside last season for Chris Webber, is suddenly an important part of the equation. -- <font color="#000000">Detroit News</font></p></div></div>
