The other grew up in a predominately white, middle-class suburb of Seattle in the Pacific Northwest. One played for one of the most storied programs in NCAA basketball history and was a big-name, high-profile player making it to the Final Four two straight years. The other played in the relative obscurity of the Big Sky Conference. But none of that history and pedigree matter here. At the Las Vegas summer league, Pistons first-round draft picks Arron Afflalo and Rodney Stuckey are starting their NBA journey at the same low classification -- rookie. Although Stuckey, the kid from Kent, Wash., who played at Eastern Washington, will quickly point out that he went 15th overall in the draft and Afflalo, the UCLA standout, went 27th. "I don't know his background all that much, but I am sure we were raised in different environments," Stuckey said. "But I know we get along real well and we are becoming fast friends."</div> Source: The Detroit News
That is gonna be a great back court for the Pistons in the future, those guys are good. It's amazing, the East just continues to get younger.
