| Detroit News: Pistons coach Michael Curry says this will be a developmental year for second-round draft pick Walter Sharpe, but it is unlikely that will include a stint in the NBA's Development League. "He needs a year here under our watch," Curry said. "He needs structure and stability every day. A guy like (center) Cheikh Samb needs basketball hours -- he's a guy that would benefit more from the D-League. Walter will benefit more from being in this structure every day." |
