While Stuckey was able to continue to play, his season so far hasn’t been as great as expected. Many NBA experts expected him to make a big jump in his second season in the league. That simply hasn’t happened yet.

Compared to his rookie season, his stats are up just a little bit. Most fantasy owners are probably looking elsewhere for production, even if they invested a draft pick in Stuckey.

Is there hope for Stuckey’s stats to improve? What Stuckey needs more than anything is a boost in minutes played. One way for that to happen is if he takes over the starting point guard job for the Detroit Pistons. In that scenario, Allen Iverson would move to shooting guard and Richard Hamilton would come off the bench. That makes sense for the Pistons but it’s doubtful that Hamilton would like a move that would make him a reserve.

If Stuckey remains a bench player, he’s going to remain a borderline fantasy basketball option. He’d only really become valuable if an injury were to strike Iverson or Hamilton.
