<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> After rookie Cheikh Samb made a solid showing against the Lakers on Friday, there's a chance the Pistons will wait -- maybe indefinitely -- to send him to the NBA-Development League.</p> </p> "I think we've talked a little bit, and I think we'll hold off for now," Flip Saunders said. "There's no question we can throw him in the game. He has a presence. ... You're not afraid to put someone like that on the floor."</p> </p> Saunders has always favored keeping Samb around.

"There is no need to rush it." -- <font color="#000000">Detroit News</font></p></div> </p>
