He's a proven, slightly above average starter in this league, a rotation player on any team. But I just can't see how he'd ever sniff an All-Star game. It's conceivable he could improve, but who is he going to unseat among East guards? That's a crowded bunch, and I don't think he cracks the top 10 guards in the East overall, even when he's going well.</p> I don’t mean that to say Stuckey is bad.

Whatever L wants me to do. I thought Kyle played phenomenal. He did an excellent job and I was just happy to see him go out there and play the way he did. … I don’t care about starting. The only thing that happens when you start is they call your name. Whatever helps our team win. If Kyle is better with the first group, I think he should start.”  From Langlois article, on coming off the bench: “I would love doing that,” he (Stuckey) said. “I have no problems.

I think the problem is the opposite of how you phrased it -- he tends to only play great in games where he's mad about something or feels slighted or otherwise has some extra motivation to do well. It's the games where he doesn't have some sort of personal vendetta or extra way to motivate himself that are the problem. </p> He has had some great games against Westbrook.

And the examples you give of when he has played fantastically are against Rose and Kobe? I'm confused. “He plays scared when he goes against better competition.”

Like I said Stuckey has the talent he's just not consistent enough to be a starter. I feel his problem is effort and passion. Sure tomorrow he's going to lite it up probably he might even go a week or two. But that's not because he has love for the game as a Piston. It's because he's got something to prove. He's done this before a couple of years before. I remember him going an entire game without shooting the ball but had about close to 20 assist. He dominated the game setting guys up. And after the game he says yeah I can pass like a point guard ( something like that). At the time I was like Yeah Stuck you showed them but now I realized he was just trying to prove that he could pass the ball like other point guards. If your going to prove yourself do it every day not when you feel the public's picking on you or things just aren't going your way.
