Keith Langlois at Pistons.com has an
update on how practices are going in Vegas.
Quote:
Porter interspersed the two-hour evening workout with shooting drills in which pairs of Pistons would attempt to make 21 perimeter shots as quickly as possible. Stuckey and Afflalo were easy winners both times.
“He’s a lot stronger than I thought,” Porter said of Stuckey, who will start at point guard with Afflalo at his side. “I’d seen some tape, but he really does a good job of getting into the paint and being able to hold his own when he gets a bump, makes the pass when necessary or finishes at the basket.”
Maxiell also mentioned Stuckey’s strength and finishing ability as highlights of the first few practices.
“He’s a strong guard,” said Maxiell, participating in the Summer League of his own volition. “I like his game. He’s strong, he’s athletic, he gets to the rim and he’ll finish every time.”
