Source: Mickael Pietrus Struggles At least the Warriors didn't make the mistake of bringing him back.
I think Pietrus would have been an excellent basketball player if he had natural feel for the game and basketball smarts. He's quite an amazing athlete for his size.
If Pietrus has a brain, he could have been an All-Star. Still inconsistent as ever. In last 4 games, he scored 3, 20, 6, 20 pts...
Also Pietrus' defense seemed to worsen over the last couple of years. He was really good when he was guarding and shutting down people like Steve Francis and I think TMac. But somewhere he's lost his defense or something.
Pietrus has been playing very well for the Magic lately. He's had games of 18, 17, 20 and 18 points in his last 5. He's averaging 14 points and 3.8 rebounds, but it's his efficiency that's striking: For the year, he's shooting 49% from the field, 46% from three, and 91% from the line. He's been playing solid and now he's getting over 30 minutes a game because of it... Good job MP...
