Rodney Stuckey re-assessment

[Hermy]

FTs made Stack seem like a decent scorer though.

Then he was a decent scorer.

[WTFchris]

I suppose. But a terrible shooter.

Maybe the least clutch player I have ever seen.

Dude just implodes in the last 5 minutes.

I think Kuester wanted to strangle him tonight.

IIRC, he missed two shots in the closing minutes.

His 25 points were part of the reason that the last 5 minutes were even relevant.

I agree that he did play a very good 3.75 quarters. But it's a trend, not an exception, that he crumples down the stretch.

And it wasn't just missed shots, it was ballhogging, a key turnover, etc.

If I am interpreting this correctly, in the clutch, (4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points) 66% of his shots are jumpers with an eFG% of .267

Why post a PDF as opposed to just:

Glan, you clicktracker you...

Check out the overall league clutch stats:

Note Rip's impressively-good clutch play and the fact that all our other rotation guards suck in the clutch.

Actually, no, lol.

I took a quick glance at the surrounding stuff on the page and thought it was distracting or not relevant.

I actually tried to attach a copy paste of just the relevant, Stuckey-specific stats to my post as both a word doc and then a PDF, because I've never tried that before, but the file size limitations are ridiculously low.

Since I had the pdf made, I decided just to host it somewhere and link to it.

Sounds more complicated than it actually was. Ha ha

CLUTCH BABY, CLUTCH

Jameer (Detroit): Stuckey might not have been great against the Grizzlies, but he looked more comfortable playing off the ball. What did you think?

Langlois: Stuckey has had terrific games as the starting point guard, Jameer. The Pistons, and I, have always believed he could thrive playing off the ball. That doesn’t mean he can’t be a success as the point guard, though. In the right offense, surrounded by the right players, I still think Stuckey has a future at point guard. But if the Pistons were to land a player who clearly was a classic distributor, then by all means, move Stuckey off the ball. As well as Tracy McGrady has played this season, (a) he’ll be a free agent after the season with the Pistons holding no advantage in the pursuit to retain him and (b) McGrady as a full-time point guard carries its own disadvantages. There’s at least an even money chance Stuckey will return to point guard next season, if not before.
