You don’t just luck up on twenty assist nights. No Piston had recorded 20 assists since Isiah Thomas dropped 21 dimes in a game in April of 1985.
Will has proven he proven he can score when that’s what’s needed. Now he’s showing that he’s a capable point-guard. No disrespect to Rodney Stuckey but Will Bynum is the best PG on the Pistons’ roster. On a team that averages under 19 assists a game you simply can’t ignore the floor general down there near the end of your bench.
Will is a restricted free agent this summer and I only hope Joe D wasn’t just giving lip service with his intentions to keep Will a Piston:
Let me be clear, sitting here right now, we have no notion of letting Will walk out of the door. We’ll re-sign him and he’ll be one of the core members here for a long time.
Move Will to the number one guard spot, give him the keys. That’ll be the easy part for Joe. The hard part is going to be unraveling the salary heavy knot he’s got at shooting guard.
