Jason Maxiell is the forgotten man of the Detroit Pistons

27-year old power forward Jason Maxiell has been the forgotten man of the Pistons so far this January. Maxiell has played in 4 games so far this month and he is averaging 13.5 minutes, 1.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. He is only 2 of 10 (20%) shooting from the floor this month. Maxiell has now played in 31 games (14 starts) for the Pistons so far this year and he is averaging 18.0 minutes, 4.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. Maxiell has now played in 360 games (62 starts) in his first six years in the NBA and he is averaging 17.7 minutes, 5.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. Maxiell doesn’t appear to be in the Coach’s Dog House but with Greg Monroe and Charlie Villanueva getting big minutes, Maxiell better start getting used to sitting on the bench.
