I don't understand, why wouldn't he be eligible? Because he went to the DL for awhile?

Bynum scored 26 of his points in the fourth quarter, the most ever by a Piston in any quarter of play. "Will was great all night," Detroit coach Michael Curry said. The previous franchise record for points in a quarter was 24, set by Stackhouse and Thomas. Bynum also dished out seven assists. Inside the Detroit locker room, Detroit center Kwame Brown teased Bynum about the points coming because of the screens set by Brown. "I set a franchise record for screens, too," Brown said. Booth Newspapers
Bynum, who struggled in Detroit's loss at Philadelphia on Saturday, led a fourth-quarter surge in a game the Pistons absolutely had to win to continue to have some measure of control over their postseason fate. "As I told him, 'You're in the scouting report now,' " Curry said. "They're going to try and protect the paint and stop you from getting there." Booth Newspapers

[h2]Will Bynum proves Rick Kamla�wrong[/h2]
You have read about Will Bynum's heroics yesterday in thePistons' most important game of the season - 32 points, a franchise record 26 in the 4th quarter on perfect 6/6 shooting from the field andmaybe…just maybe, you have read or seen something by Rick Kamla somewhere on the nba.com page. He saidsomething about Will Bynum getting Allen Iverson's minutes…

[h2]Hello World, Meet Will Bynum[/h2]
Posted Apr 06, 2009 9:25AM By Matt Watson (RSS feed)
Filed Under: Pistons, NBA Last Night, NBA Press Box
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- For most of the season, Will Bynum has lived in obscurity, the third point guard on a team that already had two starters at the position. But lately? Allen Iverson is gone and Rodney Stuckey hit the wall, and Bynum isn't letting his opportunity go to waste.
With their postseason hopes on the line, things looked bleak for the Pistons heading into the final quarter against the Bobcats on Sunday night. After allowing a 17-point lead to completely evaporate, the Pistons actually finished the third quarter trailing by one. And then, as if things weren't difficult enough, Rip Hamilton was ejected after picking up his second technical of the night.
Naturally, that's when Bynum took over, etching his name in the team's record book in the process by scoring 26 points in the final quarter to put the game on ice.http://
Bynum did most of the damage by attacking the lane and drawing whistles -- he shot 6-6 from the field and 14-16 from the line in the final quarter, finishing the game with 32 points and seven assists. The previous team record for points in a quarter was 24, accomplished twice by Isiah Thomas in the 1980's and most recently by Jerry Stackhouse eight years ago.
The Pistons have a long and storied tradition of excellent guard play -- glance up at the Palace rafters and you'll see numbers belonging to Dave Bing, Thomas, Joe Dumars and Vinnie Johnson, and that's not even counting the new generation of Chauncey Billups and Hamilton -- but on Sunday, Bynum did something no one's ever accomplished while wearing a Pistons jersey.
Not too bad for a guy who stands six-feet-zero in shoes, bounced between two colleges, went undrafted, spent most of his first year as a pro in the D-League and then played two years in Israel before going to summer league to earn a contract with the Pistons that made him the second-lowest paid player on the team, ahead of only Walter Sharpe, a second-round pick rookie.
Of course, to suggest that Bynum's monster performance on Sunday came out of nowhere wouldn't be fair; he's been playing well for some time now, and though his minutes have been limited, he's actually the team's leader with an 18.0 PER. As Michael Curry admitted after the game, Bynum is already on the opposition's radar, if not that of the casual fan, as well. "[As] I told him, 'You're in the scouting report now, Will. They're going to try to protect the paint and stop you from getting there,' " Curry said.
Talking with reporters in front of his locker, Bynum deflected all the praise to his teammates. "I mean, it's really not me," he said. "It's my teammates and the coaching staff. I couldn't even be -- I don't deserve all the credit, it was pretty much them, those guys out there setting the screens and the coaching staff believing in me. That's who gets the [credit] for it."
Professional athletes are trained to talk like this, but coming out of Bynum's mouth, I'm inclined to actually believe him. And after hearing comments from other players that are enough to make you question being a fan, Bynum's "team first" mentality is entirely refreshing.
"I could have sat on the bench and scored two points, I still would have been up cheering trying to get this win," he added. "As long as we got the win, I'm going to be satisfied no matter what happens."

How are such diminutive guards as Nate Robinson, Will Bynum, and Aaron Brooks able to be so effective in today's NBA where the players arebigger, stronger, and more athletic than ever? - Rey, Farmington Hill, MI
Extraordinary north-and-south speed coupled with extraordinary east-and-west quickness. Plus large doses of absolutely heart-stopping talent.
Also, while Brooks is easily the quickest and fastest of this trio, Robinson and Bynum are surprisingly strong.
It's also difficult for hostile bigs to bang these guys solidly enough to hurt them because they can't catch them. And because the little guys arelightweight enough to safely bounce off of heavy-duty hits.
Being so undersized enables Robinson, Bynum and Brooks to penetrate the minutest cracks in defenses. They can also operate at full efficiency at a levelthat's beneath the sphere of influence and comfort of taller players. And their lower center of gravity enables the Lilliputians to change direction muchquicker and in much closer quarters.

I knew the post-Chauncey Pistons weren't a contender in the East, but I didn't know it had gotten this bad... losers of 9 of their last 13 games.
My guess is Will Bynum is this year's Tarence Kinsey.
Hopefully I'm wrong and Bynum will have some staying power, but he'll need to develop 3-point range this summer to have any chance. That's one areawhere playing in the Euroleague doesn't help, their 3-pt line (20'6") is actually shorter than the new NCAA 3-pt line (20'9"). And Istill can't believe Bynum averaged 5.7 turnovers/game in the D-League... how is that even possible?
