Stuckey hasn't passed Noah yet and Conley is still right there with him as one of the more steady PGs in the league. But you're right, Stuckey is right around the top 5-6 range and still could potentially move up if he keeps this up next season.</p> Yeah, agree with Oats.

Noah is a center, and a great defender, and those are far more rare than talented combo guards (which is why we have 3 combo guards with some talent, if you buy into BG, and 0 centers who can defend unless you count a very old Ben Wallace. Even then, it's at least a 2-1 ratio). I can buy arguments that Stuckey is the better player even though they are both roughly all star caliber players, but center just has more value than a wing player. There are a bunch of guys who give you 90% of what Stuckey does, but very few that can give you 90% of Noah. Depending on how worried you are about Horford's injuries, Noah could actually go ahead of him in a redraft. I would have Stuckey 5, but Mike Conley is close on heels for that spot and I wouldn't complain about someone arguing for him knocking Stuckey out of the top 5.

Up until now, he's pretty much played like a 15th pick. But based on this season, if we did that draft over he might go top 5. I'd probably rank that draft like this today 1. Durant 2. Gasol 3. Horford 4. Stuckey 5. Noah I'd put Stuckey ahead of Noah because of his limitations on offense, whereas Stuckey is a complete 2-way player. Great on both ends. When you add in Afflalo who shouldve probably went top 10 in that draft, Monroe who should've went top 3, maybe #1 overall, Knight, Jerebko, Tay, and Memo who all should've gone higher, Dumars has actually done a fantastic job at finding out who are the best players in the draft and getting them low. I think Sinlger and Macklin are going to turn out to be the next 2 that you look back on as Joe getting 2 more players that should've gone higher.

John Kuester, who was fired after last season and is now a Los Angeles Lakers assistant." Anyone noticed the Laker's Bryant and Bynum dogging it and getting benched?  That's hilarious. Seriously, though, I agree with Jacob.  I was not excited about Stuckey being resigned, but I admit I was wrong.  He is a different person this year, and I don't mean because he is a better player. “… John Kuester, who was fired after last season and is now a Los Angeles Lakers assistant.”

That's pretty cool, I think more athletes should use these resources. How many times do we hear about otherworldly talent that just could not put it together mentally? Stuckey has definitely improved his attitude this year along with his play. Yeah I read this earlier too. That’s pretty cool, I think more athletes should use these resources.
