Eval of Stuckey's Decision Making on Penetration Dribble

Overall Stuckey had a nice game. He finished with 23 points, eight assists and only two turnovers, but his decision making on dribble penetration could still use some work.

By my estimation, Stuckey made the right decision on eight of his 16 drives. His major issue continues to be sharing the basketball off the drive. He only passed the ball twice in 16 trips to the lane.

Stuckey must improve in this area. Passing on dribble penetration leads to easy baskets, both in the lane and on the perimeter. Also, if opposing teams are forced to honor his ability to pass in the lane, Stuckey will see less resistance from defenses when he chooses to take it to the rim on his own.

Stuckey's decision making on dribble penetration is improving slowly but surely. He won't be an Isiah Thomas, John Stockton, Steve Nash, Nate Archibald, etc. pure passer type, but when he starts making teams respect his lane passing, his drives to the basket will get easier.

Hamilton slowly got better under our eyes as a passer.

Stuckey's also said he's working on a floater shot like Gordon's so that he doesn't have to bang into big bodies so much. Hopefully, Gordon will help him cut down on his learning curve during team and private workouts.

I gotta laugh (and scowl) at the Stuckey bashers who said Stuckey wouldn't improve.

They don't know anything.

IMHO, they're not patient and not the best Piston fans neither.

Stuck's coming along nicely.

Too bad he can't dunk.
