| Re: Has Stuckey made up for the Darko pick?
Somebody's reading Roscoe's forum... ESPN - Best and worst of the first two rounds of the playoffs - NBA Quote: Rookie of the Playoffs: Rodney Stuckey
OK, they can't get a do-over on drafting Darko Milicic, but at least the Pistons got something out of him. That's more than Memphis can say … or Orlando. In fact, the Magic's trade of a No. 1 pick and Kelvin Cato's expiring contract for Milicic and Carlos Arroyo two years ago might have cost them the series. Detroit used the pick to take Stuckey in the draft last June, and he held down the fort while Chauncey Billups sat out Games 4 and 5. Detroit won both games to move on to the conference finals, and Stuckey played well enough for his team to win. The highlight was a 15-point, six-assist, two-steal outing in the clincher, as the 6-5 guard showed he can be an effective scoring point because of his ability to beat smaller players off the dribble and finish at the rim.
