Walter should have been there all the long. He needs playing time and experience. It has been a long while since he has played competetive basketball.
I'm still not sure why Acker was brought back? He doesn't fill a role and he doesn't look like that promising of a prospect. I also find it odd that Alex would be sent to the D-league while Rip is out with a injury. I wonder if Joe has another trade up his sleeve?

I said the same thing. With all thease injurys lately its weird to see them send 2 guys down to the D league right now.
Alex Acker is not getting minutes and they would be given to Bynum even with RIP out, thus he was probably asked if he wanted to get some exposure in the D-Leage. Ofcourse he would rather than not playing at all.
Why would the Pistons want Acker to go? Probably not because he is unpolished like Sharpe. It is probably because he is the mature person that they need to ensure Walter Sharpe stays on task while he is in Fort Wayne.

With Stuckey, AI, Afflalo and Bynum ahead of him, they probably don't need Acker.
