Vegas Summer League notebook: Stuckey, Gibson getting it going

LAS VEGAS -- The word "sleeper" isn't applied all that often to players taken
in the top half of the NBA draft. Most players are preceded by their
reputation.
Enter Rodney Stuckey, a promising rookie guard taken at No. 15 by the Detroit
Pistons, just one spot out of the lottery last month. He is what the Pistons
have to show for Darko Milicic after they traded the former second-overall
draft choice for the pick that became Stuckey. He may have been one of those
oft-photographed faces who shook commissioner David Stern's hand on draft
night, but lots of folks are still trying to find out more about him.
Such as: How he can run a team so well, yet tiny Eastern Washington didn't
even make the Big Sky Conference Tournament last spring?
And: How can a guy who has a great-looking midrange jumper hit 31 percent
from college 3-point range?
Perhaps those questions shed light on why, even when the word got out two
weeks in advance that the Pistons were seriously considering taking him at
their first opportunity, other teams didn't get serious about him.
"Once everyone heard [Pistons GM] Joe Dumars was high on him, we got more
calls," said Aaron Goodwin, Stuckey's agent. "But I still don't think people
know how good he is."
Stuckey closed an impressive Vegas Summer League performance Saturday with 18
points and six rebounds in a victory over the Lakers in which he had a nice
battle with fellow first-rounder Javaris Crittenton, who had 21 points. In
Detroit's summer games, Stuckey averaged 19 points and nearly four rebounds.
As a combo guard, he spent time at the point and turned quite a few heads in
doing so, running the offense effectively. He also showed off a good jumper
at times and the ability to guard quicker players.
"I think there were a lot of teams that liked him. He was on our board, but
there was a lot of uncertainty with him," said one Eastern Conference general
manager. "I don't know exactly where he fits in his league, but he's shown
here how talented he is."
"He's a tweener, not a pure point and not a classic wing so I'm not sure
where he fits with the Pistons," said one Eastern Conference coach. "He's
shown a lot of potential here With Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Flip
Murray, Will Blalock, draft pick Arron Afflalo and perhaps Lindsey Hunter (if
he does not retire), the Pistons are stocked at guard. That means Stuckey may
have an uphill battle to get playing time as a rookie. Still, it would be
unwise to overlook him.
Speaking of the Pistons' summer team, big man Jason Maxiell impressed some
with his developing offensive game. Everyone knows he can dunk, but in Vegas
he shot 54 percent and showed a nice touch on short jumpers. He also shot 76
percent at the foul line, a massive improvement.
"It looks like he's been working a lot with Rasheed [Wallace] to me," an
Eastern Conference scout said. "He's developing a nice baseline turnaround."
原來有可能是溪蛙教導有方啊 XD
