– Jerebko found himself on the outside looking in when it came to playing time in former head coach Lawrence Frank’s rotation. Jonas has showed tremendous potential ever since he stepped on the floor as a Piston, but it has not been easy for him to find minutes. Luckily for Jonas, Frank is out and Cheeks is in. Only now, the Pistons are stacked in the front court with the signing of josh Smith and the drafting of big man Tony Mitchell.

It may be tougher than ever to get minutes for Jonas, but his exceptional effort and hustle should help him find a spot in the rotation. Jerebko also has developed a skill set that is now much needed in Detroit; outside shooting. With the need to space the floor for their big men, I expect Jerebko to get playing time in 2013.
