The Celtics eventually hung on to win Game Five, 106-102 en route to winning the Finals, but Stuckey left Motor City critics and fans drooling over his untapped potential.

Stuckey also averaged 9.8 PPG against the Orlando Magic, to go along with a remarkable 95 percent against the Magic, going 19-20 from the line.

Here's an overall look of his numbers last season:

2007-08 Seasonal Numbers: 7.6 PPG, 2.8 APG, 2.3 RPG, 0.9 SPG 

2007-08 Playoff Numbers: 8.2 PPG, 3.4 APG, 1.9 RPG, 1 SPG, 87.9 percent FT Shooting

2007-08 vs Celtics: 9.8 PPG, 2.8 APG, 1.5 RPG, 1.6 SPG, 80 percent FT Shooting

Stuckey is a lights-out shooter that will capitalize on any freedom given by defenders. His quick release and graceful shooting motion enables him to transfer the ball out of his hands faster than the incoming defender.

His ball handling skills and decision making are better than mediocre but still can be improved as with most inexperienced players.

My comparison of Rodney Stuckey is a young Ray Allen.
