Is Rodney Stuckey the right kind of point guard for the Detroit Pistons to build around?
24-year old point guard Rodney Stuckey is a shoot first point guard with a problem: He’s not a good shooter. Stuckey only hit 40.5% of his shots from the floor last season and he was a pathetic 22.8% from three point range! He played in 73 games (67 starts) for the Pistons last season in which he averaged 34.2 minutes, 16.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Stuckey has now played in 209 games (134 starts) in his three years with the Pistons in which he has averaged 29.2 minutes, 13.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. It will be interesting to see if the Pistons try to build around Stuckey or if they try to trade him at some point over the summer.
