Is Brandon Knight the reason for Rodney Stuckey's recent resurgence?
Both Vincent Goodwill at the Detroit News and the FREEP's Vince Ellis wrote articles over the weekend suggesting Brandon Knight is responsible for Rodney Stuckey's improved attitude and performance this season.
So... it wasn't veteran leadership after all?

Yes, of course Brandon Knight has helped Rodney Stuckey shoot three pointers and get to the line more.

Sports writers love simple explanations
Stuckey and Knight do seem to be the best guard pairing we’ve had since Billups & Hamilton. It’s simplistic to say Knight alone has made Stuckey better. But I’m open to the possibility that he complements Stuckey better than anyone else we’ve had and that this has helped Stuckey’s game.
I'm warming up to Stuckey right now
Quietly, he’s putting together the best season of his career. I hope it’s for real and not just one of his hot streaks that he’s had before.
But I think it’s a very tough sell to argue that Knight has much to do with it. Perhaps you can argue that playing off the ball more has helped, but Knight isn’t necessary for Stuckey to play off the ball. Any competent PG could accomplish that.
