Oh, dude is a lot more than 224. He's a mini-truck out there. Last year they tried to use him on Cousins because he was the only one with the bulk to battle him.

260...don't know about that. But its possible in the Anthony Mason way such things are possible. He's stout.

It's a shame you guys don't focus as much on defense with big wings and switching. I'd love to see Tucker on GS.

:rofl: :rofl: at you calling a young charles Barkley "compact." And he was certainly over 260 at multiple points as a young player. If any of you catch NBA TV's 1984 Draft special, they note how Barkley was reportedly tipping scales around 300 lbs, and that was at just under 6'5''. Earning such nicknames as "Bread Truck," "Food World," "Crisco Kid," "Goodtime Blimp," and of course the "Round Mound of Rebound." Charles Barkley was fat. Powerful, reasonably quick, could jump, but was pretty fat.


PJ Tucker is not nearly as fat, and actually seems quite built. He could certainly weigh around 260 lbs sometimes. Of course the "official listings" are hardly always accurate, so there's that to consider as well.

250-260 wouldn't suprising me. Pj defended shooting guards all the way to centers, literally put him on whoever the teams best scorer is, Harden, KD, Blake Griffin (they fought), Cousins, dude held his own.

He is made of attitude and determination, dude is a fierce competitor. If he could improve his shot to be more reliable or more of a threat, he would really make a diffrence. More times than not when we needed a big stop or rebound to close out a game, he was the one with the ball in his hands standing and FLEXING in the end. Hopefully with all the whiney drama gone from our team, he, Bled, Knight and Chandler can form some team discipline and breed some balls out play again.

Im 6'4 245 and am built similarly. He can easily weigh 260 at 6'5+ with a lower body fat and heavier set of muscle

Didn't Stanley Johnson weigh in at 250 around draft time? And he wasn't even an NBA player yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if PJ was around 245+. Some guys are just built more compactly than others.

Around 265 probably, 270 at most.
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

Dunno. May not be 260, but he's pretty damn thick.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

242. And Ron was 260+ too. Some guys are giants.

Mind blowing how meaty some guys are.

I didn't beleive it until I saw the last pic, he looks pretty built, also there's a high chance that he has tree-trunk legs as in storing a lot of weight down there as well so 250 doesn't seem like a stretch at 6'5-6'6

If you're 6'6" plus with a thick lower body, by default you're gonna be 245+.
