Tucker is a pitbull. Plays d with discipline. Notice on the videos how he almost never leaves his feet and goes for the fakes.
with bigger size PJ Tucker in the lineup, our defense is not gonna fall off that much or may be better even without Mr.94 feet. wish all good with P.Bev in clippers still.
It's going to be huge for us this season having 3 good to great defenders on the perimeter. Tucker should also really help in keeping Ariza's minutes down. I am in love with this signing.
Could you guys imagine this small ball lineup when we need scoring? PG: Harden/CP3 SG: Ego/CP3 Forward 1: Tucker Forward 2: Ariza Center: Capela Harden and Ariza would share guarding detail on the opposing PF, but man that would be a great small ball lineup with defense to boot.
I'm so thrilled we finally got Tucker. He's going to fill in for a lot of the bulldog mentality that Patrick gave us these past few seasons. This will go down as the best contract of the off season in my opinion. We have him locked in for 3+1 at a reasonable rate. I was a bit nervous at the amount of depth we gave away to get CP3 but as usual Morey proves that you shouldn't worry. As long as we have stars in place, Morey will figure out how to surround them with great role players. Think of the guys who played key roles and are no longer here and how they are doing. Garcia, Parsons, Asik, Greg Smith, Delfino, Buddinger, Marcus Morris, Casspi, Dwight Howard and so many others have come in and out of the door, and guess what? Morey has been able to fill their production with players people thought wouldn't be able to fill in the production. Even fan favorites like Troy Daniels and young players who panned out like Robert Covington haven't resulted in a drop off in success.
Which is why we have CP3/Harden in the lineup to create offense for them. All they have to do is move around on the perimeter.
No you said this is a lineup when you need scoring. Not enough scoring there. You need Ryan Anderson (or Kevin Love) in there somewhere.
Scoring meaning shooting with Harden/CP3 creating open looks. Ryno is not going to be creating a lot of scoring at the 5 unless we are talking about his step-back midrange.
