It seems to me that since the big trade and Max signing the big contract two things have happened. His minutes have gone down and Detroit is losing a lot. He didn't play today in their loss to Atlanta.
Here's what Berger (CBS) said on his list of the most underrated players in the NBA:
3. Jason Maxiell, SF, Pistons: Evidently, Maxiell is underrated on his own team, having endured his first DNP-CD since 2006-07 on Dec. 9 against the Wizards. His numbers don't jump out (6.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 blocks), but he's only playing 17 minutes a game. Over 40 minutes, his boards translate to 11.2, and as one GM said: "He can impact the game at both ends of the floor -- shot blocker, toughness, defender, and knocks down the 15-foot jump shot."
Anybody know anything?
