The Indiana Pacers have been getting hot at the right time as they enter the NBA playoffs, and with Paul George returning soon.
Rodney Stuckey has been the man behind all of that, who is been the star player off the bench for Indy. Stuckey, in his last five games, is averaging 21 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists.
Stuckey was signed this past offseason to be a replacement for Lance Stephenson. He's definitely been a solid one, and probably even better. He's definitely been lighting it up after seven up-and-down seasons with the Detroit Pistons.
The question now is what his future will be with the Pacers after this season is over. Stuckey expressed his love for the franchise to Pacers.com recently.
“I want to be here. When that time comes, we'll definitely figure something out.
“I love it here, man. I'm staying in the city, close to everything. I love it here. My family loves it here. I love the people in this organization. Definitely, I want to come back. That's a no-brainer. Having a guy like Paul George here, of course I want to come play with an All-Star. Who doesn't? Definitely want to be back here.”
The Pacers would be fools not to bring him back. Expect him to get a nice contract from Indiana in the summer.
