Shed a tear for Benedict Rick

According to Eric Crawford in today's Courier Journal, 6'10" UL signee Amir Johnson will likely sign with the Detroit Pistons and forfeit his eligibility to become a Card after being selected as the 56th pick in Tuesday's draft by the Eastern Conference champs.

Next season should likely provide Darko and Amir plenty of time to brush up on their vocabularies as they take turn picking splinters out of each others' hind ends.
