Season Averages: 13.9 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 2.1 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.1 BPG, FG% 43.6, 3PT% 27.3, FT% 83.6

Stuckey has spent his entire career to date in Detroit, but that may be set to change. Stuckey has had his best season for a couple of years, likely due in no small part to the fact that it is a contract year for him. With Stuckey’s contract set to expire, it seems improbable that he re-signs in Detroit, unless he shows a willingness to take less money. This season there was no doubt that Stuckey represented the Pistons best offensive option, aside from the starters.

In need of improving: 3-point shooting. Throughout his career, Stuckey’s 3-point accuracy has fluctuated, but this year at 27.3 percent it took a turn for the worse.

Grade: B-
