102417, I know the "Jameer ceiling" is the hip thing to say...

... but in this case, the hip thing to say probably isn't far off. In fact, if he put up 17 points and 5 and a half dimes shooting around 50% in a playoff season, the way Jameer did his best year? That would surprise the shit out of me. So a Jameer ceiling is a pretty best-case scenario, probably even higher than my expectations.

If paired with the right offense, he could start. Detroit would be a great place for him for a number of reasons (good frontcourt means inside-out basketball, he'd be asked to pop 3, Michigan fans make him an instant home-crowd favorite).

I still tend to think he's more of a backup-on-a-good-team/starter-on-a-bad-team guy in the majority of situations.
