He did indeed. I'm just scared of his shooting. Even in the playoffs he only managed 37% shooting, though better from three than during the regular season.

Without a point who requires being guarded at the three point line and takes away a defender, I'm just not sure anyone else can score (against possible doubles). And it's a lot easier to take away Stuckey's drives if you don't have to get up on him outside.
