So Rodney Stuckey is now a Detroit Piston. Could he have had a better team pick him? You tell me.

As far as I'm concerned, no. A veteran team. A successful franchise. Winners. It's rare for a talent like Rodney to end up on a playoff-ready championship contender (for contrast, look at Adam Morrison from last year).

The Pistons will demand Stuckey play both ends of the court. The veterans will take the pressure off, there will be no need to score 25 a night. He'll be part of a team, and not even the most important part.

What's your thoughts on the pick?
