Point Guard
Brandon Jennings vs. Rodney Stuckey

It couldn’t have been more than a year ago that Stuckey seemed like the future of “Deeeee-trooooooiiiiit Baaaasssskkkkeeeeettttttballllllll”, right?  Now he’s back down to 40 percent shooting with a cast of overpaid role players and aging veterans on the fast track to nowhere.  Is Stuckey really good?  It’s probably too early to say.  He’s had an injury here or there, but he’s playing on a team that’s been beat up and he’s probably been asked to bare too much of the burden for these guys.  He’s getting to the rim a lot (six shots a game) and finishing okay (50 percent) but he hasn’t been able to do anything from anywhere else.  If Stuckey can get his jumper going  from literally anywhere else it’ll make him a much more dangerous player and reinvigorate his career and the Pistons team.  Against Jennings though, Stuckey should be able to penetrate more often than not and knock Jennings out of the way if he’s by him at all.
