They play Knight with another PG all the time in Detroit, I don't see why they'd stop now.
Knight is the PG. Making Calderon the SG in that lineup sounds like a recipe for disaster on defense, and takes the ball out of his hands on offense.
Stuckey handled the ball an awful lot when they paired up.
I think they'll keep doing that sort of thing.
Well, Stuckey's a 6'5" combo guard who tends to dominate the ball when he's on the floor.
Who do you bench in favor of Stuckey? Calderon or Knight?
Actually I'm pretty sure Stuckey will get benched, or Knight situationally. But by default it'd be Stuckey.
Calderon is a much better option than either of them to run a team's offense. Given Stuckey's outbursts I'd be shocked if his minutes aren't slashed by this.
Of course they could go small with 3 guards some, but I'd think their coach would be smarter than that.
I agree. I think Stuckey is gone after this season. I don't think Dumars and the rest of that Pistons front office view him as someone to build around. It's Knight, Drummond, and Monroe.
Calderon is the best PG on their roster, but he's only going to be there for 40 games at the most. I'd rather see Detroit fully commit to Knight at PG this season.
Maybe Calderon will accept a time-share/mentoring role, but I don't see him enjoying that.
