What's the Deal with Rayjohn Tucker?

[homeytennis]

It seems like he is destined for not great things with the Jazz. It is a strange signing if they are not going to use him. It also sent a message to all the Stars players from the front office and Quin that we think you suck.

Strange but in his highlights he looked like he could shoot the 3. It seems in the little playing time he's had, that he's not comfortable out there yet and hasn't been able to take advantage of his natural abilities.

Agreed. It's not that I don't think he CAN shoot the three it's just that he has sucked badly at shooting it for the jazz so far. Obviously not a great sample size.

He's young and inexperienced and behind 4 good guards on the depth chart.

This. Were guard heavy right now. Mudiay isn't even getting a lot of playing of time lately. Tucker's a project and a good option if one of our guards don't return next year.

I hope Mudiay comes back next year. I think eventually he could be as good or better than Conley.

Who do you suggest he take minutes from? We don't even have a spot for Mudiay in the rotation when fully healthy and he's been playing great.

you don’t really believe that do you. Lol

Maybe he is saying a better value than Conley.

He's not playing for two reasons -

- Once again there's zero margin for error in the WC. Jazz are a win-now team that need to win every game. The days of working players into the line-up are over (see Dante Exum for the past 5 years).

- Jordan Clarkson's integration into the team has been a spectacular success. When they traded for him I don't think even QS or DL imagined he'd be this valuable this fast. And not just as an instant offense guy. He's bought into the team's defensive identity as well.

Gonna be a rock star

I did say, could be. He's still very young. I also maintain that Conley is a bad fit.

He was already playing great at the G league level so I guess right now even just participating in practices with the Jazz team can be more valuable for him than playing with the Stars. And he will see the floor in the garbage time or in case of multiple injuries.
