Rodney Stuckey to gain more minutes

In an article on MLive.com, coach Flip Saunders will play rookie Pistons' guard Rodney Stuckey for atleast five more minutes on average. Saunders is trying to build up chemistry between his top 8 players -- the five starters, Rodney Stuckey, Jason Maxiell, and Jarvis Hayes.

This is a big step for Stuckey who's development was delayed when he broke his hand in the last preseason game.

However, this is a step back for first round pick Arron Afflalo. The five minutes that Stuckey will gain on average per night will probably be taken from Afflalo.
