Sioux Falls finishes the NBA Development League regular season with two games against Fort Worth beginning tonight.Drafted 56th by the Pistons in the 2005 NBA Draft, Johnson averaged 17.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 17 games last season with the Fayetteville Patriots of the D-League.</div>HECK Yeah!!I hope he'll get some good minutes tonight.
I hope he gets some minutes, too. Can't wait to wat...Oh wait, they had to recall him after the last game on national television.
I hope he gets good time, but I hope we don't overplay him just because he's here now.BTW sign me up for your club there Captain.
Wow. Amir with 5, count them, FIVE blocks in 12 minutes. He also has 7 rebounds, 4 offensive, and a steal. He should be 3-8 because he had one bunny spin out, and he missed an easy dunk.

Now has a double double with 10 points, 10 rebounds. I wish I could watch. :cry2:
I dunno if I want him to play well or not. If he plays extremely well these few games..it's gonna increase his value and we could lose him.
The guy tore up the D-League, he was doing everything very well - and I don't think he turned the ball over much (which is good for a young guy). I think he'll be a real good player, we all know he's a freak athlete but if he starts refining his skills he could turn out to be a steal from that draft and prove lots of people wrong..
Final statline for Amir-3-12 FG, 6-7 FT, 12 pts, 10 rebounds, 6 blocks, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 TO, and 4 PF in 34 minutes.Solid for a 19 year old kid. He a lot of tough bounces on the rim today on close shots so I'm not worried about his shooting. And he'll stop fouling so much with some experience.I'm excited for his future. Hope we hang onto him.
WOW I can't believe he got 6 blocks - I'm going to watch the replay of the game soon - so this should be fun to watch.
