    I think ET can produce somewhere, I just think he's the wrong player for this team.

    He's about the last person I want back on our team.
    Stop quoting people I have on ignore!

          I think Stuckey would actually be a good fit for us off the bench. I know people want guys to space the floor, but that's about the only thing we DO have at this point. Solomon Hill is the only guard or wing player we have that figures to get regular minutes that isn't known as a 3 point threat.

          He's a good free throw shooter, and he gets to the line frequently. He's not a point guard, but he's capable as another combo guard that theoretically fits well next to Hill and Watson.

          It sounds like decision-making is his downside, but I doubt he'd play starter minutes here and honestly our bench unit needs somebody who's in attack mode all the time.
          Time for a new sig.

              That and his attitude. That's probably 1a and 1b.


              Really, his attitude is what's making him toxic to the rest of the league. He's only 28 and he's obviously gifted. His basketball IQ is negative-50 but JR Smith has shown you can be productive even with that limitation.

              The fact he publicly and privately stabbed his coaches in the back year after year is what's caught up to him. He thinks he's a star and when he isn't treated like one, he goes into operation shutdown.

                  Rush is a much better player than Stuckey the only issue is Rush needs guys like Stephenson to create for him.

                    What's Evan Turner's status?
                    I'm not perfect and neither are you.

                    Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim,
                    Ephisians 4: 32 And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Elohim also forgave you in Messiah.

                      Stuckey wouldn't be a terrible option, but we already have one combination guard in George Hill. I would rather get a true point guard. At this stage of the game though beggars can't be choosers and if Stuckey is the best option available so be it I suppose.

                        Last I checked he is still terrible and no one wants him here.

                          I never wonder if Stucky is good or if he's talented. I always wondered if he's motivated and wants to play the right way. So i can see the attraction, guy can score, he's strong, just seems indifferent or selfish. So who knows.

                            Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...

                                So he's still here. (A lot of us wanted Lance and he's not here)
