That is incorrect. You may believe that but he was drafted to be our point guard. Otherwise we would never have drafted AA, who does not play the point at all.
Hot Rod was a combo guard in college drafted by us to be our future point guard.

Showing impressive poise for a rookie at both guard positions, Rodney Stuckey got a great run in at the Vegas Summer League and looks well ahead of schedule relative to what we expected from him.
A combo guard from a low-major school who was expected to be Mr. Everything for Eastern Washington, it was quite surprising to see the patience he showed running Detroit’s offense at the point guard spot.
Stuckey made good decisions for the most part in the half-court set, looking to execute the plays relayed to him from the sidelines and not having any problem at all feeding his teammates--particularly Jason Maxiell in the post. He took what the defenses gave him on pick and roll plays and did not get flustered when trapped/double-teamed at the top of the key. Stuckey didn’t get caught up in the type of stubborn over-dribbling that we typically see from mid-major combo guards, which is a great sign as far as his future development within Detroit’s offense is concerned.

As long as C-Bill continues to start Hot Rod will see some time at the #2 along side C-Bill, but most of his time will be at the #1, which is what he will eventually be for us as a starter.
