<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One thing was evident in Monday night's preseason win over the Utah Jazz. Carlos Delfino's shot? Not falling, not from outside, anyway. Five times, the Argentine forward hoisted a shot from beyond the three-point line. All five times, it clanked off the rim. A glance at the box score after the Pistons' 90-85 victory showed a pretty putrid night -- 3-for-11 shooting for six points. But that's not the whole story. The Pistons are committed to giving Delfino something like 15 minutes of playing time a game this season, regardless of how his shot is falling on a given night. They want him to play through mistakes, find his rhythm, grow comfortable in his role and be a regular contributor. They believe he will, too. That's why coach Flip Saunders found reason to be pleased with Delfino on Tuesday. "Even though he struggled shooting the ball at times," Saunders said, "he made some plays at the end."</div> Source
