Chris McCosky / The Detroit News SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- As the Pistons try to reinvent themselves with Allen Iverson and without a true point guard, the guy they might turn to for stability, once again, is Tayshaun Prince. Among the modifications coach Michael Curry is making to his offense is using Prince in the role of a point forward, initiating the offense, while Iverson and Richard Hamilton work on the wings. "Tay is going to facilitate some of our offense," Curry said after the Pistons' two-hour practice at Arco Arena Monday. "He will get into it with Allen handing it off to Tay. And there are other sets that Tay will start himself." Curry worries, though, about tampering at all with Prince's role. He has averaged 23 points the last three games. "We are just getting Tay into a mode where he's aggressive all the time and I don't want to take that away," Curry said. "I would rather figure out the other stuff out first. Because at the end of the day, we are going to need Tay to be aggressive, especially in the playoffs when he's going against the elite three-men in the game." Prince doesn't think Curry needs to worry about that. "It's not going take away my aggressiveness," Prince said of playing the point. "The only way it would is if I keep feeding AI and Rip and they get hot. Then I would be just feeding them and feeding them. But that's all for the better if that happened." If Prince had his way, he would run the point more often than he has thus far. "Just having me with the opportunity to run the offense, I can see over top of the defense," he said. "I can see what's going on and read how they are playing Rip and AI. I would definitely like to have that opportunity." Using Prince at the point was just one of the modifications Curry is contemplating. On Monday, he simplified a lot of the offensive sets. "As good as Chauncey Billups is, he and Allen are two different players," Curry said. "We had to run things to get movement and get into the paint with Chauncey. Now we don't have to do that as much. We can keep it simple." Where plays might in the past have called for an extra screen or an extra cut, now they can just get the ball to Iverson in space and let him penetrate and create. "It's just rhythm and playing," Iverson said. "It's understanding how we want to play, at what tempo we want to play at and what plays we need to get into. It's just about getting into a rhythm with the team. "But the most important thing about all of this is, we've got 76 games left. What more could you ask for?" About Stuckey Backup point guard Rodney Stuckey did not accompany the team on its flight to Sacramento. The Pistons' medical staff decided to keep him back and run more tests to determine the source of the dizziness and light-headedness that forced him to leave the game Sunday against Boston. "From everything I've been told, he's day to day," Curry said. Curry didn't know when Stuckey would be joining the team, though he did expect him at some point. The Pistons called the tests precautionary and would not specify what they entailed. Slam dunks Rookie Walter Sharpe missed the team plane to Sacramento Monday morning. He flew on his own and arrived at ARCO Arena about 4:20 p.m. PST, about an hour and 20 minutes into the Pistons' practice. He will be fined, but Curry said he would dress for the game tonight, if Stuckey was out. ... Kevin Martin, the Kings' leading scorer, will miss seven to 10 days with a sprained left ankle. Backup guards Francisco Garcia (calf) and Quincy Douby (quad) are also out. Bobby Jackson will start and rookie Bobby Brown is the only guard left on the Kings bench. -- Player G GS MPG FG% 3p% FT% OFF DEF TOT APG SPG BPG TO PF PPG R.Wallace 81 77 35.1 .519 .160 .704 1.60 5.40 7.00 1.8 1.07 1.32 1.94 2.70 16.4 S.Smith 82 81 32.8 .467 .398 .850 1.50 2.30 3.80 2.5 .87 .38 1.43 2.60 14.9 S.Pippen 82 82 33.5 .451 .327 .717 1.40 4.90 6.30 5.0 1.43 .50 2.54 2.50 12.5 D.Stouda 78 78 30.4 .432 .377 .841 .80 2.30 3.10 5.2 .99 .01 1.91 2.20 12.5 A.Sabonis 66 61 25.6 .505 .368 .843 1.50 6.30 7.80 1.8 .65 1.18 1.47 2.80 11.8 --
