Is the return of Big Ben just over-inflated hype, or will his presence be strong enough to help Detroit regain respectability in the eastern conference?

Tell us what you think!!!

Join Pistonscast LIVE on blogtalkradio Sunday, August 23rd at 8:00pm when we officially welcome back Ben Wallace!

We’ll discuss Ben’s new role with the Pistons and what we can realistically expect out of his play.

Leadership is one of those words that can be difficult to nail down a concrete definition for. In terms of basketball, I believe a leader is the one who takes on the responsibility of successfully accomplishing the specific goal set by the team.

I think the question of leadership is the only difference between Rodney Stuckey and some of the NBA’s great young point guards like Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Derrick Rose. All three are  proven leaders who’s play determines the outcome of games every night.

In only his rookie season, Derrick Rose was clearly the leader of the Chicago Bulls and the heart and soul of the team. So far, Stuckey hasn’t impacted his team quite as much as Rose has in Chicago, but he has shown signs of greatness.

In Stuckey’s defense, unlike the other guards previously mentioned, he hasn’t really had the same opportunity to be a leader. As a rookie, his job for Detroit was to be back-up to Chauncey Billups. The following season he had more opportunities but with the constant line-up changes, it still was some time before his role was clearly defined

Now, with the dawning of a new day in Detroit, is this the season for Rodney Stuckey or will another player step up and become the leader of the Detroit Pistons?

How can Joe Dumars not keep a guy like this in house?

Hiding this video made it a lot worse than it had to be.  Nike and Lebron should be ashamed!
