He looked good today. Confident, good handle, good body strength, long arms......

He kinda looks like a hunchback running the floor without the ball with those long arms

Nice handles, he's very intriguing.

That guy is special. When you're an expert like me, you don't need much footage to tell if a player has it or not. Talent Horton-Mothertucker will expose the league in a couple of years.

I'm glad he's a Klutch client...means we won't just dump him, right?

I’m not an expert like you, but just watching him with South Bay and last night, he is going to be a tough cover for any NBA defense.

He has everything except the physique and consistent shooting.

If he improves his shooting, that’s a really good player.

I didn't know he had handles like that. I thought he was a straight line type of player. I'm really intrigued by him. We need a YUTE.

His handles are great. I wouldn’t trade Norvell, Cacock or him. We need some depth YUTE on this squad.

We don’t want to become Cavs 2.0 when Lebron begins his exit.

+1 We have a 26 y.o. AD that's going to need some help for the next 6+ years. We need to stockpile our reload as much as we can without hurting the present.

His measurements are mind warping on paper but seeing him on the floor is somehow stranger.

This. Said this a couple months ago with tucker, norvell, Cacock, and little Giannis we can have nice depth as we transition after Lebron. Been watching some of their games in the gleague they all can play. Plus their youth is a big plus. Just need experience

Tucker’s combination of balance, strength and handle is intriguing. Those are similar attributes to what allow Harden and Doncic to get to spots on the floor (obviously with other skills added, including exceptional shotmaking and court vision). Andre Miller was another guy who had similar wares.

Tucker is going to have to show the right kind of motor, and improve his shotmaking. But he has tools for sure. He feels like the kind of guy the Spurs would turn into a high level starter.

With that 7 foot 1 wingspan I'm glad he's on this roadtrip. He can play defense, his length will trouble people (we need that length), he has handles, he can pass, just needs to shoot better.

... Randy's donuts. Really? Donuts?

Shizophrenic behavior. Like sportsmanship towards the other team is more important than sportsmanship towards your own teammates. If you are that concerned about your stats, just play on until time expires. I never understood this nonsense. When the shot-clock is off it's fine to call it a game I guess, but why take a turnover with more than 24 seconds remaining? Why bring yourself into these situations. Just play on, dammit. The young guys only have the garbage-time to present themselves anyway, why sabotage their effort by refusing to play? Fans bought their tickets to watch 48 minutes of B-Ball, not 47.30 minutes. Does it really hurt the feelings of the losing team that much to play defense for one more possession? I don't get it.

It's a team turnover not an individual turnover. They're just having a laugh

Continuing on, many rookies seem not to know that it (like shot clock violations) are counted as team turnovers. So when they have the ball dumped onto them they have this hilarious, annoyed look on their face.

Like Jaxton Hayes did when Josh Hart did him cold

Is it just me or I see a similarity between him and Brogdon in terms of skills?

He scored 19 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds tonight.

I see him as Tyreke Evans 2.0.

I'll happily take that if he doesn't have the same off court issues at Tyreke.
