When Stuckey is in the game, there are very few of the Pistons offensive plays that don’t pass through him. Stuckey uses 24 percent of Detroit’s possessions in his time on the floor, whether that means creating his own shot, getting to the free throw line, or picking out a teammate.

Stuckey is athletic enough to be involved on the break and in set plays around the paint, while his outstanding 83.6 percent shooting from the free throw line makes him as reliable as anyone in close games.
