    Amir didn't play more than he did because he's a hacker and needs to stay out of foul trouble. He just has never developed the discipline to be an effective shotblocker that he wants to be.

    Well take a look at guys like Birdman, ronny turiaf and etc, I see Amir doing the same as them on their respective teams, I watched few of his plays in Detroit and he can for be a major upgrade to kris hump!
    Again his only 22 looong way to go and with guys like reggie evans and rasho on raps I can see Amir learning a thing or two! Let's see what happens during the pre season
