    Tucker doesn't strike me as someone that will be denied their shot.. Hopefully that's with the Lakers.

    :SadPau2: …. how about mixing in a little of that air with a mid range J for which space was created from some of his jukiness and handles. In addition to the old man one legged Dirk and Lebron fall back, which is about all he has now in there that he can get off. Damn, with those arms against other guards he wouldn’t need much space mid range which he easily creates …. if he’d “jump”.

    Hopefully the work on the J will translate



    Also, hoping he putting the same amount of work on his defense. If he wants minutes over the vets, that's what it's going to take.

    Coach, GM, and Bron are all in his corner; he couldn't ask for more. Really hope he puts it all together. He's been putting in the work, but he's still really young. Game speed is different and at that age, it really hasn't started to slow down for you yet.

    We're so deep that the 3, D, and decision making has to be better or he'll lose his minutes to the hoard of guards on our roster. I have no doubt about his long term spot at starting guard, but with this veteran roster and this season's mission, there's zero room for holding hands or babysitting.

    I really hope he closely studies Russ and his approach, because stylistically he's the most similar with his desire to get at the rim.

    THT is extremely lucky. How many players his age have the wealth of knowledge just one locker away in any direction? I feel like he could stumble next to anyone on the bus or plane and have a career altering conversation.

    I’m thinking THT is going to be one of the Lakerball’s whipping boys this year. If he’s not shooting mid 30’s from 3 (he won’t) and not getting every defensive stop, members will say…..why are we paying him 10 million dollars? I think he has worked on his game and will show progress but he’s 20 years old and not a lotto pick. People are still going to have to be patient.

    There is a definite chance this happens in my mind. If he wants to play, he needs to watch a ton of video on prime Iguodala and model his game on that. A point forward that comes off the bench, that can do a little bit of everything and defends the teams best SG/SF.

    If he isn’t greatly improved on the defensive end, he’ll be sitting.
