2 Months Detroit Pistons Rodney Stuckey missed all three of his field goal attempts on Friday, finishing with zero points, one rebound and three assists in 25 minutes. It will be interesting to hear about what happened to Stuckey when things leak out over the summer, because he's much better than what we've seen this season. As for right now? He's worth a look because of Brandon Knight's day-to-day ankle injury but expectations should be held in check. | 2 Months Detroit Pistons Rodney Stuckey played just 21 minutes and hit 2-of-7 shots for seven points, two rebounds and two assists in Tuesday's loss to the Wolves. He had 13 points, eight dimes and two 3-pointers off the bench on Saturday, but will likely be an inconsistent fantasy option now that Brandon Knight is back in action (and struggling) from his ankle injury. | 2 Months Detroit Pistons Rodney Stuckey moved to the Pistons' bench on Saturday, finishing with 13 points, two 3-pointers, eight assists and five turnovers in 30 minutes. He even drained a clutch 3-pointer with two minutes left, playing alongside Brandon Knight with Jose Calderon (11 points, six assists in 30 minutes) watching from the bench. Stuckey had a nice run as the starting SG while Knight (ankle) was sidelined, and he should continue to play 25-30 minutes as Detroit's sixth-man. His role will only be enhanced if Will Bynum misses any games with his hand injury. | 2 Months Detroit Pistons Making another start at shooting guard, Rodney Stuckey had 11 points, five rebounds and three assists in Friday's loss to the Heat. In the four games that Brandon Knight (ankle) has missed, Stuckey is averaging 18.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He has the talent to do more, but Knight could be back as soon as Saturday. The leash is short here. | 2 Months Detroit Pistons Rodney Stuckey shot 3-of-8 from the field for 10 points with one board, four assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's ugly 119-82 loss to the Nets. He put up 32 points in Saturday's loss to the Blazers and was playing well with Brandon Knight (ankle) out of the lineup. The Pistons have a terrible schedule the rest of the way, so if Stuckey is still sitting around on waivers in your shallow league, he's probably not worth a pickup. | 2 Months Detroit Pistons Rodney Stuckey is "more effective" with the ball in his hands, according to acting coach Brian Hill. We'll file this one under the "obvious" department, as Stuckey's game is built around his ability to slash and attack the basket. The Pistons have tried to use him as a spot up shooter this year, but that experiment has not yielded the desired results. An NBA scout told the Detroit News that making Stuckey a spot-up shooter is the wrong move and he should play more with the ball in his hands, but when Brandon Knight (ankle) and Jose Calderon are both healthy, there isn't much of an opportunity for Stuckey to get into a groove. | 2 Months Detroit Pistons Making another start in place of injured Brandon Knight (ankle), Rodney Stuckey set a season-high with 32 points on 12-of-23 FGs and 6-of-7 FTs. Stuckey added two 3-pointers and three rebounds with just one turnover, though he didn't have any assists or steals in the Pistons' latest road loss. Keep in mind that Knight could return as soon as Monday and he'll likely send Stuckey back to a sixth-man role. The Pistons also have an unfavorable schedule in the season's final four weeks (3-3-4-2) which adds to the uncertainty of Stuckey's value, but after his past three games (22.6 ppg) he's at least earned a bench spot in 12-team leagues. | |
