I do believe Stuckey is going to be a LOT better in time -- but I've been watching New Orleans a lot lately and man oh man oh MAN Stuckey seriously needs to sit down with hours of tape on Chris Paul and just work out all the stuff he does...that kid is RIDICULOUS. I wish he was a Piston.

Chris Paul was a man amoung boys as a rookie in the summer league. I haven't seen him much since, but I'm sure he's gotten even better. He came into the big boy league with a game that was already together. I don't think he went through the same sort of struggles that most rookie points go through. He is without a doubt an exceptional player.

Stuck isn't struggling anymore

KP - I agree, CP3 came into the league as a complete player, and he had an air of maturity that set him apart. I have no doubt he's special. Just an unbelievable player. He's the only guy I'd trade CB for right now.

Paul ain't won squat.

No way I would trade C-Bill for anyone.

He played with a whole lot of confidence against Farmar, Flip said he was playing so well we was considering letting Stuckey finish the game!! I think Afflalo playing well also motivated Stuckey to step up, the two are pushing each other. Tonite we had five players scoring in double figures, our all-star backcourt of today, our small forward (the bridge), and our backcourt of the future.

His team had been one of the most injury prone in the league. When healthy, they're actually pretty good. And Paul is only what, 22,23? He's got a lot of time.

Fine he can get in line behind Stuckey and when Stuckey retires then if Paul is still playing then maybe.

Breakout game #1 is in the books.

Laker guards where at full strength.

It appeared to me in watching the game that Flipper has put some changes into the offense sets when Stuckey is on the floor to help Stuckey get more open looks. Flipper did the same thing in Nov or early Dec for Rip when Rip was struggling.

Stuckey was great tonight. I hope this was his breakout game..

...and no I probably wouldn't trade CB1 at this point for CP3, but I darn would trade RS3 for him....
