Twenty two players have seen NBA action as an eighteen year old since 1980. To join that group, Tucker will need to get into one of the next eight Laker games.
Terrific handles, then again, Larry Nance had awesome handles in work out videos. LOL! Lets see how those handles work in NBA traffic.
Nance never flashed any ability like this in college:
Haven't seen him play yet - looks a bit slow but will probably be able to shed off defenders. Nice looking shot, hopefully it can translate to the pro 3.
His game isn't speed and probably never will be. His advantages are his wingspan, craftiness, balance, and base strength. THT is like a fire hydrant with Stretch Armstrong limbs.
On a serious note, it's great to see THT fill up the box score in his very first game in nearly 8 months. To those who think he should be playing over KCP, THT's defense still needs a lot of work (this game was proof), but he has the tools to be great on that end -- especially if he continues to develop under Vogel and co.

With all the guys inactive tonight, it's a shame they didn't activate THT. This would have been a good game to give him some minutes. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant

I think at the beginning of the season it's important for all the guys on the parent roster to get some minutes, feel like they're actually a priority on the team over someone not on the official roster.. And also, THT hasn't practiced much at all since like June.. so I'm sure he's rusty like Kuz, and could use Gleague games to get that rust off instead of NBA games.. And he's had 2 straight good games in the Gleague. In a couple months whenever we play a bad team, I expect THT to get called up

Fans would be trying to cut him after his first rusty/bad Lakers game.
