    Tucker has never really been an offensive player. What I and most hoped was that he would be better than this on spot-up threes... and his defensive impact hasn't been felt quite as much as hoped. But let's see how it all works again with Mbah a Moute back. Tucker does give the Rockets an interesting option as the "big" in a smallball lineup.

    He's gotten out of shape as the season goes on, or just some injuries are holding him back. He isn't as aggressive defensively against opponents, loose balls, etc. A lot of that fire the first 10-15 games is gone. Maybe it's something he couldn't sustain, or there's a nagging injury, but from what i can tell from a TV view(not much weight to this), it's that he's gotten fatter. I'm curious on what @RedRedemption thoughts are though.

    Tucker is shooting more and knocking them down

    Really impressed how he’s stepped up.

    Well their were stints where he would be hesitant to shoot. Appears he’s a lot more brave, he took some good shots with defenders closing in on him

    Most of his 3s were wide open. He's doing what's he's supposed to

    Well yeah of coarse harden and cp3 are setting him up just like everyone else but it’s very apparent he’s stepping up
