BENO'S BENEFITS: For the Heat, Beno Udrih was expendable at the cutdown deadline at the end of the preseason. For the Pistons he's proven indispensible amid the injury absence of Reggie Jackson. "I think the thing that Beno does, not only has he played well, but he knows what he's doing," Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said during the Heat's Wednesday visit. "He can really organize a team and he's given the other guys a chance to play well. Because we're organized, we can execute and things like that. So he's been great. He's been great with our team." As with the Heat, Udrih developed instant chemistry. "He's had a nice way about him in terms of being able to use veteran knowledge and talk to guys without coming across as he's the guy with all the answers," Van Gundy said. "And that's a fine line to walk, but especially a guy who's only been here a month, not even quite a month. So that's a hard line, but he's done it. He's earned everybody's respect."
