I compiled a little highlight video of P.J Tucker's first full NBA season. Tell me what you think!

Great highlight reel. We need five starters that play with that high level motor and intensity. We should draft players with a high motor instead of potential.

I agree, we do need more players who play with Tucker's motor and intensity. However, potential is still important for any rebuilding team. Michael Beasley may not have worked out, but those types or risks are worth taking, and maybe next time we really do get the go-to scorer that we desperately need by taking a risk like that.

If you liked the video, make sure to subscribe! I'll be making more in the future.

Love the power of YouTube. Makes a average player look like an all-star. Sorry not impressed with tucker. Tucker is definitely a guy to inspire just not a guy to keep around. There are a hundred pj Tuckers in the d-league. The guy sucks at everything offense(that's being nice) but hey he can play defense. I would be all for keeping him if he was in the mold of Bruce Bowen but he isn't. Bowen was at least a threat to hit an open three or two on a CONSISTENT basis. Defensive specialist stick around the league because they do not hurt the team on offense which tucker continuously does.

Basically tucker is a "shooting guard"( sometimes small forward) who can't shoot.

Sorry but his total lack of offense overrides his defense ability. Make a video of all his blown fast breaks, passes he get stolen, and missed shoots, that would be a long video. The guy lacks the basic fundamentals on the offensive side(hunters fault)!

High motor guys aren't that hard to find. The reason we don't see 5 high motor guys is because they rarely have the skill to match the high motor and intensity.

I wouldn't normally draft for high motor unless it's a big man. If there is someone with high potential and a good motor, that would be even better.

Sorry, but I really don't understand how shooting 47 percent from the field and 31 percent from three is a "total lack of offense". Those percentages are just about on par with Dragic's.

In his eight starts in April, Tucker was shutting people down while posting averages of 10.9 points and 5.4 rebounds a game, offensive production that is about equal to what we got from Grant Hill in the past few seasons. And the 54 percent shooting from the field and 7-of-13 shooting from downtown didn't hurt either.

BULLET #1
Oh my another fact filled post by number 2. Bowen was a career .403 shooter. He was not going to hit a consistent 2 pt shot as you claim. Even worse, his career free throw shooting was .575
How do those numbers not hurt a team???? He didn't even really start shooting a high percentage of three pointers until he was 30 years old.

BULLET #2
Per 36 minutes of play Tucker averaged 1.3 turnovers per game. The lowest of all players on the Suns and Dragic was at 3.0 TO per 36 minutes. You need to open your eyes and mind to what is really happening in the games. Not sure you even watched one.

BULLET #3
PJ Tucker is far better offensively than Bowen. Tucker at least made .744 on his free throws this year and shot .473 fg percentage. Oh and just to put it in perspective Kobe is shoot .454 for his career and Shannon "the Cannon" Brown is .421
Really, really according to you there must be hundreds of Kobe's and Brown's in the D-League we can pickup.

Keep posting stupid statements that you can't backup with proof and I'll keep shooting them down.
