Rasheed’s ready to play the point
Rasheed Wallace is consistently mislabeled by outsiders as some kind of nuisance or, worse yet, a coach’s nightmare. But from the sounds of things, he’s actually one of the most prepared players on the team. From Krista Jahnke of the Detroit Free Press: The team ended its hour-long…

Skiles to reach into his bag of (one) trick
