The Detroit Pistons re-sign Rodney Stuckey

The Pistons have re-signed 25-year old guard Rodney Stuckey to a 3-year, $25 million dollar deal. Stuckey played in 70 games (54 starts) for the Pistons last year and he averaged 31.2 minutes, 15.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He has now played in 279 games (188 starts) in his first four years with the Pistons and he is averaging 29.7 minutes, 13.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The initial plan is to use rookie Brandon Knight as the starting point guard with Stuckey sliding over to the shooting guard slot. This will likely work out well, as Stuckey is more of a shooting guard anyway.
