Rodney Stuckey is 6’4, 205 pounds and has the ability to play both guard positions. He can flat out score points, and with a good ball handler with nice passing skills.
He is good at driving to the basket, has good body strength, and can create shots for himself while breaking down defenders. He has a nice pull up shot off the dribble, along with a decent mid-range game. He is also a solid three point and free throw shooter. Rodney is a good defensive player, is good at getting steals, and is an ok rebounder. A knock on him is he doesn’t always put full effort on the defensive end, he plays well against weaker competition, so it’s hard to say if he is capable of playing against the best.
Rodney doesn’t really get teammates involved much, he likes playing one on one ball. Some observers say he’ll struggle to get his shot off in the NBA because he’s small and doesn’t have a lot of athleticism, but I think it depends on the defense, he has a scorers mentality and knows how to get shots off one way or another, he does what it takes. His first two college seasons he was very consistent on the stat sheet playing 33 minutes, getting 24 points and 4 rebounds, along with 4-5 assist and 2 steals a game.
Overall I see Rodney Stuckey playing like a Dajuan Wagner or a Randy Foye. He is probably better off playing shooting guard, but like I mentioned before he lacks size and athleticism which may or may not hinder his game in the NBA. I’m more interested to see if he is able to play against NBA competition and still be able to play the same way, but it will probably take him awhile to adapt to playing his game at that level.
Rodney could go anywhere from a mid first round pick to an early second round pick, they’ll look more into his workouts than what he did in college.
