    Is anybody else here a big fan of this kid? I personally think that he could be one of the biggest sleepers in this draft. He can score from anywhere on the floor, he's not a nice first step, he can handle both guard positions, he's athletic, he's strong for a guard. Now, I know he's in a pretty weak conference, but the kid can play.

    This kid does have a lot of offensive firepower. He flew way under the radar with the numbers he was putting up and his effectieveness. Should be interesting to see if he gets drafted or where he gets drafted. Teams are probably over looking him because he played in the Big Sky.

    The kid will get drafted, I have no doubt in my mind about that. If he doesn't, that's a joke.

    Lol, I don't even know who he is and usually I know mostly every NBA and College prospect. What players is he compared to?

    on NBAdraft.net they compare him to Dajuan Wagner, but based on his performance in college he is more of a Baron Davis. If he will make it in the league he's going to be a combo point guard because he's only 6'4''.

    I think he actually has a very similar skill set to Gilbert Arenas. That obviously doesn't mean that I think Stuckey will be as good as Arenas, but their style and skill set are almost identical.

    I think he's a good player, but you guys are a little too high on him, he plays below average competition which inflate his numbers. He's closer to 6'3", I have not watched him so who knows how he turns out. The camps will make or break him.

    He's very quick and active defensively, and not to mention he's a helluva player on the offensive end of the floor. He will definitely be selected in the 1st round, in my opinion. So what if he's playing in a weak conference, a lot of good/solid NBA SGs today came from relatively unknown college teams. Bonzi Wells - Ball StateRaja Bell - Florida InternationalKevin Martin - Western CarolinaJoe Johnson - ArkansasDelonte West - St. Joseph's Kyle Korver - Creighton Larry Hughes - St. LouisThe list goes on and on..

    Bonzi Wells - Ball State
    Raja Bell - Florida International
    Kevin Martin - Western Carolina
    Joe Johnson - Arkansas
    Delonte West - St. Joseph's
    Kyle Korver - Creighton
    Larry Hughes - St. Louis

    St. Joseph's surely was not "unknown," they had the National Player of the Year (Jameer Nelson) to go along with West. So, you can take him off the list. Creighton and Arkansas aren't unknown schools either.

    They have only missed the tournament twice in the past 7 years bro, and they made the tournament every year Kyle Korver was there.

    Creighton is definitely not an unknown school. The level of competition in the Missouri Valley is very good relative to that of other "mid majors."

Very tough, this draft is very deep, he's probably an early 2nd round pick.

    Yeah, while I like the kid, he's not going to get taken ahead of Marcus Williams, Derrick Byars, Arron Afflalo, Nick Young, Morris Almond, and not to mention the 2 international 2-guards who are projected 1st rounders (Belinelli, Fernandez). It's tough to see all those guys getting picked in the 1st round as it is.
