lets compare Stuck and Chauncey.

Chauncey came into the league as a scorer who didnt have a positoin. He was bouncing around and had a strong stench of bust.

So Chauncey came to Minnesota, and grew as a POINT GUARD, with the help of Mitchell and Brandon. After 6 seasons, Billups began to show promse as a POINT GUARD. It wasnt until his 6TH SEASON that he had a career best 12pgg and 5apg. His first year in Detroit he only averaged 3.9apg. He was converted from a scoring 2 guard into a Point guard, he was learning.

Stuckey also came into the league as a scoring combo guard without a true positon. He has been and is still learning how to run a team.

Stuckeys first year starting he averaged 13 and 5. It took Chauncey 6 NBA seasons to average what Stuckey did in his first full season.

STUCKEY HAD BETTER NUMBERS HIS FIRST YEAR AS BILLUPS DID IN HIS 6TH YEAR!.

Chauncey averaged under 4apg in 2002-2003 in Detroit.

Its the same story. Two combo guards with no positon. They both slowly grew as point guards. And Stuckey is doing his 'learning' at a much, much faster rate.

Stuckeys first year: 13 and 5
Billups best season (6th): 12 and 5

This team is young and is going to grow together. Stuckey, like Billups was, is learning the Position. And hes doing it a hell of a lot faster than Chauncey did.

People said the same things about Billups. Hes no PG, he shoots too much, he cant distribute.

NBA players dont make their careers over night, so I dont see the reason in Expecting Stuckey to go from a Wade type scorer to a Steve Nash distributor in 1 season. It makes you look bad.

This team isnt trying to contend for a title, you guys are fools for acting like we are.

i wish people would cut out these bull**** chauncey comparisons. they dont even play alike. and even if they did, rodney stuckey is rodney stuckey. this board did the same thing for years with darko and jermaine o'neal, and now look at you all. i hope stuckey turns the corner and does well, but i'm not about to sit here and let him mooch off chauncey's skill all because of some retarded fantasy this site has

He's simply comparing their growth rates (which are similar). It's a harmless comparison. Why are you so upset by this? Seriously, pull your panties out your arse.

I can't say that I am a Stuckey hater, but at the same time, I certainly am not in love with his game as a point guard. In my opinion, he plays much better off the ball, and a future move to his more natural SG spot seems to be a good move for all parties involved. Detroit just needs to find a PG then...

Billups can help teammates with assists.

Stuckey likes to help the other team with his charging fouls.

They were both scoring two guards who had to learn how to play Point Guard. Its the same fight between them. Billups made all the same mistakes when he was younger. Stuckey can do it, but its not going to be done in one season.

Chauncey Billups is a career 5.6 assist point-guard. He only averaged eight assists in a season once in his career. Last season he only averaged 6 assists, and currently this season is only averaging 4.

But but but......you can't compare the two. There differen't players........Some of you are completely idiotic when the facts are brought right before your eyes.

As far as FG%, Chauncey is a career 41% shooter, while Stuckey is career 43% shooter.

Yeah, Chauncey gives you veteran leadership, clutch three pointers, and knows how to run an offense.

But when he didn't provide any of that until he came here to Detroit. He came here as a back-up point guard. People seem to forget that.

Comparison threads are crap, this is ridunkulous.

This has just spelled his failure.

The real comparison in smooth, an hot rod. Is that once they became pistons. It was a matter of how quick they learned... to play the right way! hate to say lb's phrase, but that really epitomizes it.

An when u look at the comparison in that aspect, u will see quite a bit of similarity's only a true smooth, an true hot rod fan would see. An that excludes bandwagon hoppin. You have to actually see them GROW.

It never even crossed my mind that Stuckey was a "Wade type scorer." That would actually mean he has some potential.

Comparing Stuckey with Billups isawaste of time. Stuckey reminds me of Jason Terry when he was with the Hawks. Also played point guard--terribly and eventually becamean important bench player on a decent team playing againstsecond units. Don't confuse Stuckey with a scoring point guard. Guess what? He's not a scorer. He gets 6 feet from te basket and then flings it up there. Westbrook made him look terribleand Hardin made Joe look terrible for noy recognizing the need to transition to someone who can distribut without taking 15 seconds off the clock, can see the floor and a one dimensional player. Who hates Stuckey? Don't gotta hate him to know he's the Rex Grossman of point guardsand there's an organizational blind spot regarding him.

what games have you been watching? horrible assessment of stuck

And a fan blind spot

haha, oook we will see

I like Stuckey but he is not an outside threat. Sure he gets hot once in a while but the second he gets cold teams back right off of him and he can't get in the lane. You can't compare people all the time if you could you could do it with a lot and i mean a lot of NBA players. We will see, personally i don't think Stuckey will make it as a starting point guard in this league. The last couple games i think the point guard play has been horrible including bynum. Every time bynum got the ball he made me pull my hair out. He took some very bad shots late in the game against the bucks, i think he just needs to learn to play into his role like he did last year.

you're acting like pistons jerseys have mystical powers or something. you guys are really oversimplifying what makes chauncey the player he is.

Stuckey is not has bad a many people think. He's still young and he's still trying to learn how to play the PG possistion. Which, is not his natural possistion. It all depends if you have the patience to watch him grow because he's going to have some really good games and some really so so games.

With that said, he needs to work on two aspects of his game. #1- his outside shooting. In order to keep defenses honest as the season goes along he needs to knock down the open shots. #2- when he drives, he needs to look for the open player the the help defender comes over to stop his drive. So far, he's not ver good at that.

Does this team have the time to wait for him to grow? That's the question.

personally, i don't think he's bad at all. i just don't think he's a pg. nor do i ever think he'll be chauncey. if he could at least become more accurate with his layups and lose the tunnel vision when he's driving, then he's fine with me

he may be " growing " but he will never have chaunceys basketball i.q. at how run a team when to shoot and when to pass you never see him stop at the free throw line and wait for his passing lanes to open up when their there .. and his jumper is broke as hell .. how many times does he blindley flip the ball up and either gets it knocked out of the air or draw a charge .. opposing teams allready have him scouted out
