That's a veteran skill and it's important to note how well he does it already. - Washington may have gotten a steal selecting Dominic McGuire with the 47th pick of the draft. He shows nice hustle, great athleticism, way better court vision than I imagined and a decent jump shot. He should be a good energy guy off their bench. - Sammy Mejia is making a case to make the 15-man roster and at this point I think he will make it. He probably won't see time with the Pistons unless there is an injury, but Mejia's all-round game, hustle and defense will be worth investing a spot for him on the developmental roster. - Washington effectively closed off Stuckey's lanes in the middle of the court and along the baseline with double-teams in the first half. To his credit, Stuckey rarely forced a shot, usually finding a way to kick out to the open man. If an NBA team attempts this during the regular season, most of the players on the Pistons will welcome the opportunity to shoot open jumpers. - It's nice to see Arron Afflalo getting to the line, but for the third straight game he's really struggled with his shot early. Afflalo was known as a great mid-range shooter with a quick release at UCLA, so you have to believe these struggles are temporary. - Nick Young shows why the Pistons were considering him before the draft. The kid has serious hops and has just thrown down some massive dunks. That's just the exciting part. He's also shown that he has a very effective jumper. Still, I think Stuckey will prove to be more of a total package on offense in the long term. (I can't wait for this quote to get dug up three years down the road.) - What looked like a tale of two halves really was a difference in Rodney Stuckey's approach before and after halftime. Stuckey was very conservative in the first half, rarely driving, deferring to teammates and with little help on the offensive end, the Pistons only scored 25 points in the first two quarters. The second half saw Stuckey taking it hard to the hole often and the Wizards couldn't do much to stop him. I still wonder whether the Pistons are trying to make Stuckey fit like a square peg into a round hole at the point guard position, but I think with guys like Hamilton, Prince, McDyess, Wallace and Maxiell surrounding him, Stuckey will probably find a way to rack up quite a few assists. I remember what Chauncey Billups was like before Larry Brown molded him into a pass-first point guard, and I think Chauncey will share be able to teach Stuckey quite a bit from his own transformation as a player. - Cheikh Samb really struggled today just confirming that he's still quite far from being able to contribute at the NBA level. --
