Outlook
- Ben Gordon, Will Bynum and Chucky Atkins will all probably be out tonight, according to Chris Iott of MLive. That means Tayshaun Prince will likely see time as the back up point guard.

Tayshaun Prince has no respect for his team. He plays with no intensity on either end of the floor. He plays as if he wants to be traded. We have other guys that can play that position with more effort and energy. Did someone just say they like Rip running the point with Stuckey playing off the ball? Rip has a horrible assist to turnover ratio. Look it up. Can we please have Will Bynum back?

James, in the last three years, Richard Hamilton has an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.15-to-1. That’s better than this year’s ratio for, among others, Derrick Rose, Tony Parker, Mo Williams, T.J. Ford, Rodney Stuckey, Ramon Sessions, Tyreke Evans and Ben Gordon.
I’m not suggesting Richard Hamilton should become the Pistons’ point guard. But Stuckey gets more involved in the game when he can spend some time at shooting guard.
Hamilton handling a few possessions a game as the point guard would allow Stuckey to do that.
