Alright, now do it for every other player on our roster that isn’t a rookie. :) Nice piece.

I had actually submitted it about 2,5 weeks ago, but I don’t work for DBB haha It’s funny how similar the posts are. The difference is that I focused on a comparison of the seasons and he focused on in-season development, if we put our posts together we would have gotten an amazing piece! I hope you guys still enjoyed it, Stuckey has come a long way!

Yes, coincidentally, the Boourns at DBB had a similar post go up yesterday that everyone should also check out. Jakob's Stuckey post, however, has actually been submitted to us for a while and Dan just got around to editing and publishing it today, so that's our bad on the timing of it, not Jakob's. Should've been up earlier this week.

This is what I’ve been saying over and over again. He was by far his best and an absolute beast when healthy last year.

So The Boourns real name is Jakob. Surprised.

It was only 4 games and I stopped counting when he really started playing poorly, don’t think it would have had much affect on #s

He actually played his best ball before that injury…..I wonder what’s his numbers look like before the injury

Not that its totally fair to pick and choose, and it definitely gives a smaller sample size, however… Given the strange circumstances of last year, if we strip out the early season out of shape Stuckey and late season playing with injury Stuckey, and just focused on those 2+ months of “wow, Stuckey looks like an All-Star” those numbers get much better.
Arbitrarily looking at games from 1/21 (re-entered starting lineup) to 4/8 (tweeked injury from Cleveland game 3 games earlier) so 35 games worth
eFG% = 55%
TS% = 58.7%
I am sure optimistic Pistons fans are counting/hoping that’s the Stuckey we get all year.
