The Detroit Pistons are eight games into the season, and already some are questioning the progress of point guard Rodney Stuckey.
Stuckey came into the league relatively under-the-radar from Eastern Washington. He made a splash at the end of his first season with the Pistons in the playoffs when Chauncey Billups when down with a pulled groin.
