Still, it is nice to see him continuing to play hard. Stuckey’s game is similar to Wade’s – unfortunately he has 1/100th of Wade’s talent and athleticism.

He is in his 5th season. And yeah, at the outset of the season, he was shooting terribly. In the past 15 games or so, he has been shooting much better. Why did he start out slow? Who knows. Maybe rust. But that is on him. No excuses for a 5th year player. Ok, Stuckey shouldn’t need much of a camp. He is in his 5th season. And yeah, at the outset of the season, he was shooting terribly.

And he is very good at one thing--getting to the line. That can be enough to make him a starting caliber player on a good team. He isn't yet but one can hope. Also, he only tries on defense on a small percentage of his possessions--unacceptable. But he is still an almost average defensive player just because most Gs are bad on defense and he has all the natural advantages for it. All in all, we shall see if he can ever put together a special stretch for at least 20 games. Until then, I remain unimpressed. But that doesn't mean he's not a good value at 15.

(lol) 6.  His game will blossom soon.    (how many years should we wait!) 7.  Stuckey has really looked good. 8.  Geat value pick at 15 even though he plays defense 33% of the time! (put down the bong) 9.  His game resembles Dwayne Wade NOW THE FACTS ARE:  He's playing more minutes than his career average (albeit slightly) He's shooting a LOWER shooting percentage than his career average! He's assisting at a LOWER rate than his career average! He's rebounding at a LOWER rate than his career average! He's averaging LESS steals per game than his career average! He's averaging less fouls per game suggesting he's really not playing any physical defense which we all know he's capable of doing! What do the numbers say he's doing better?? Blocks-  that's it! and probably the least meaningful statistic at his position! I rest my case your honor and would encourage the court to direct the prosecution(The Slackies)to seek out psychiatric help!! My final thoughts and look at this thread as anger management is now needed!  Still amazed at the comments above of my beloved Rodney Starbury Stuckey and his minion of slackies!!

1.  I knew Stuckey was a great signing.— ( for the team that didn’t get him!)
2.  He had a bad coach in his second year
3.  He had a bad coach in years 3 and 4!
4.  His career/development was put on hold due to ownership issues
5.  Stuckey has improved his shooting. (lol)
6.  His game will blossom soon.    (how many years should we wait!)
7.  Stuckey has really looked good.
8.  Geat value pick at 15 even though he plays defense 33% of the time! (put down the bong)
9.  His game resembles Dwayne Wade

NOW THE FACTS ARE: 
He’s playing more minutes than his career average (albeit slightly)
He’s shooting a LOWER shooting percentage than his career average!
He’s assisting at a LOWER rate than his career average!
He’s rebounding at a LOWER rate than his career average!
He’s averaging LESS steals per game than his career average!
He’s averaging less fouls per game suggesting he’s really not playing any physical defense which we all know he’s capable of doing!

What do the numbers say he’s doing better??
Blocks-  that’s it! and probably the least meaningful statistic at his position!

I rest my case your honor and would encourage the court to direct the prosecution(The Slackies)to seek out psychiatric help!!

Is he such a dynamic force on offense that he gets a pass for his weak efforts nightly on the defensive end????  or maybe it's the coach again!   Let us know, were all eagerly waiting for your answer!   .417% shooting percentage FOR THE YEAR!!   If that's what were looking for in our best player it's very very sad!
