2. Rodney Stuckey, Shooting Guard
Another player that spent most of his career in the NBA in the Central Division, the former Pistons shooting guard/wing Rodney Stuckey was a frequent foe of Rose and the Bulls. Stuckey spent the bulk of his career, seven seasons, with the Pistons. He also spent another two seasons with the Indiana Pacers.
Stuckey played in 651 regular season games in total. He averaged 12.6 points per game, 2.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks. Stuckey shot 42.3 percent from the field, and 30.0 percent from beyond the arc, and 82.4 percent from the free-throw line. This 6-foot-5 and 210 pound guard was a product of the Eastern Washington Eagles hoops program and a native of Seattle, WA.
He was also the 15th overall pick in the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft. For his career in the NBA, Stuckey posted a player efficiency rating around 15.0 and nearly 30.0 total win shares. There were mixed results on both ends of the floor for Stuckey, though. And that really showed when he faced Rose and the Bulls.
In 17 regular season games played between Stuckey and Rose in their career, the favor went to the former Bulls point guard. Rose held the edge in this series with a record of 15-2. All of those 17 games came in the regular season too. Stuckey averaged a still solid 14.6 points per game, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.1 blocks.
Meanwhile, Rose averaged 20.6 points per game, 4.0 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.7 blocks, in those 17 games against Stuckey.
