Jazz Sign Rayjon Tucker

[Jazzta]

I’m excited for these moves. I also don’t buy Tony’s theory about giving Niang more minutes, he also thought that “this is the team”. I really think they’re looking to stir up the bench, which has been a disaster.

FWIW

It does kind of sound like spin a little. Hype up a guy on the roster instead of talking about the deficiencies of the guy you're dropping.

Tucker will never play. It's Juwan Morgan all over again. Might be a good player but we'll never know. Essentially wasting a roster spot.

We didn't cut Jeff Green to open a spot on the Stars.

If the Jazz are going to pick up prospects like Morgan, Brantley, Wright-Foreman and Tucker on the cheap, I don't have a problem with them trading away picks.

I agree, if you mean 2nd-round picks

One of Tucker/Brantley is going to be 12th man on the roster racking up CD/DNP's. The other is going to be on the Stars.

We want Niang on the floor more? LUL

Holy **** his bounce is ridiculous off one and two feet. One of those freaks who dunks on the way up.

this post makes zero sense. Why waive someone you’re not planning to use? Why sign Tucker if you’re not planning to use him?

I think you need to think this one through.

This is kind of cool.

I always thought Dennis would be happier running a gleague team....

Jeff Green was waived because he sucked bad, and the Jazz saw a guy they liked (and after his showcase performance probably had a small window to get) and went and got him.

If our 1st-rd pick is going to be in the 23-25 range, maybe that too. I think this Rayjon Tucker kid is comparable to a guy like Donte DiVincenzo, Grayson Allen or Lonnie Walker. He's shown he can play at this level.

Im fine with all of this except balls are not tough at all... one time my left ball was grazed by a swiping defenders hand and I thought I would die... my bits are kind of *******.

This. Balls are about the least tough thing about human beings in general. There's a reason that whenever a big tough guy needs to be brought down a peg they depict him being hit in the balls.

 

[LogGrad98]

Wisconsin coach Chase Buford: Great work ethic, passion...elite athlete that competes at a ridiculously high level...a human highlight reel...A very exciting prospect.

Color me intrigued.

Sounds like a top 5 pick.


Oh wait.

a 6'5 forward? sounds familiar lol

Bro, what's your problem? Please show me the NBA team who plays all 15 roster spots consistently.

I'd rank Tucker above JWF and probably Oni.

Our prospects ranked:

1. Morgan
2. Brantley
3. Tucker
4. Oni
5. JWF

This is where I'm at. Tucker might be above Brantley although Brantley has the potential to serve a more obvious need for the Jazz.
