This guy is the modern day Robert Horry.

He’s ahead of the curve and yet he’s under-appreciated. Every winning team needs to have someone like him.

This highlight reel is great in how "boring" it is. It mostly just looks like a bunch of missed shots and a few offensive fouls. But then you watch what Tucker is doing and how hard he makes life on the offensive player. Half of the highlights end with a shot going up. If it went in, I guess you'd say Tucker "failed", but he's playing great D in these clips.

Eh, you don't have to do this to make PJ look good. Tucker has scored about 6 pts per 36 over the last 4-5 years, at best about half of what Mikal Bridges is going to chip in regularly and consistently. And Bridges is a lot more efficient, and he also generally lets your offense do quite a bit more because of his shooting and general game. And he's quite good at defense in general. Plus in your stats he has 50% more steals and double the blocks.

PJ doesn't look good in this comparison and it doesn't really highlight what he does bring. Just let the man be himself.

Tucker is going to matter in the playoffs. It's ridiculous to state about a 37 year old but he's got another gear to go to when the games matter. He goads you into trying offense that looks good but he just grinds it down to muck. It seems like the only star who completely neutralizes his defense is KD. And I think his illegal screening will be allowed more in the playoffs too.

For real he's an asset when the playoffs start. He should be playing 20 something minutes in regular season tho
