He’s Definitely Not Him!
By Eric Woodyard - PistonPost.com writer
He’s alright, but he’s not him.
Rodney Stuckey is good but he is no Dwyane Wade. In fact, he’s far from him. Not even on his planet!
There has been talk all around town about how Stuckey is just as good as Wade and how he could possibly be better than him but this is absolutely absurd! The Pistons fans in the state of Michigan are way to eager to place him in the same caliber with the elite players of the National Basketball association way before he pays his dues.
I can see where the Wade and Stuckey comparisons stem from but I am not ready to entertain them in any way, shape, or form. They do have similar slashing ability, as well as a similar body type and overall agressiveness (…and the same jersey number) but that is where it stops.
Wade’s abilities are unmatched, especially from someone of Stuckey’s stature.
Despite the Miami Heat’s, 93-90, loss to the Detroit Pistons last night at the Palace of Auburn Hills, The Flash was still in the place with style and grace. Wade laced the Pistons with 29 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.
Stuckey held his own though as he dropped 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists on the Heat.
This was a decent win but the Pistons are still struggling as they finally snapped thier four-game losing streak. It’s kind of hard to be optimistic about the franchise when they continue to struggle so badly.
The fans are even realizing this as the Pistons’ franchise-record sellout streak at 259 games was also snapped last night.
When the league leader in points can’t fill up the house then there is more than a problem.

i agree he’s not gonna get any better, dumars think he is, he also thought darko was bill russell, another mistake joe. Why you think he’s telling curry to play him he wants to find out before is to late. The sacred cow can’t produce any milk Joe, bench his stubby ass and let Rip start and let his young ass earn to start, stop all this drama joe

While I agree that Stuckey is not (yet) on the same level as Wade, he certainly might get there in a few years. Also, Wade might have gotten 29 points, but he needed 31 shots to get that (compared to Stuckey, who had 18 points on only 15 shots – who knows what Stuckey would have scored had he taken 31 shots).

Not yet, no. But it’s only a matter of time.
Not only will Stuckey be the undisputed leader of the Pistons in 2010, regardless of our free-agent pickup (unless it’s LBJ), he’ll be a perennial all star before his career is done. The guy’s for real.

Who cares. Just let him be the first Rodney Stucky and let his career play out just like ever one elses.
