    There has been a lot of talk about the teams turnovers this preseason but I'm more concerned about the guards inability to get the ball to the Piston's big men down low. It seems they have a hardtime making the inbound pass to the bigman in the post and recognizing when they are open. I have noticed there are times when McDyess is open under the basket and he doesn't get the ball. I have also noticed there are times when McDyess and Darko have good post position and the guards shoot the three because they cannot make the feed.

    The main problem is the point guards who have got the most time, Smush Parker and Jenkins havn't been getting any assists. They have just tried to score and pass every now and then. They havn't been creating for the big men inside. I'm sure when everyone is back with Billups and Rip playing normal minutes they will get the ball inside more. Before Mcdyess all there was for inside post play was Rasheed so I guess It takes a little bit of getting used to have more options this year.
