The Lakers former player joins European team! Why can t he survive in the NBA? It s not all about inefficiency

Speaking of Taron Horton Tucker, the most talked about by fans is that the Lakers chose to give up the latter between him and Caruso in the summer of 21. However, in the summer of 22, Pelinka traded Tucker to the Jazz for Beverly. I regretted it in just one year, and it was fast enough. After the

and the Bulls contract expired, they have not received the NBA contract. According to the NBA China official website, Tucker Jr. is about to sign a contract with European giant Fenerbahce.

Tuck, born in November 2000, is less than 25 years old. It is logical that it is the time to get a ball, but why can't he survive in the NBA? For this, we look at this from several aspects:

three-pointers

have taken a total of 2,426 attempts so far in their career, of which 34.3% come from outside the three-point line, which shows that this is the main ending method. However, as shown in the figure below, the three-point rate of the 24-25 season with the highest efficiency was only 33.6%, and the low 21-22 season with the lowest 26.9%. The 29.9% three-pointer rate in his career allowed Tucker Jr. to enjoy the offensive treatment of Vanderbilt and Westbrook - the opponent was unscrupulously empty, making it one-on-one with the basket.

In addition to three-pointers, the basket is Tucker's main ending method, with career shooting accounting for 29.3%. Unlike the lack of stability in three-pointers, the basket's finishing efficiency plummeted from 77.8% to 60.7%.

Height is 1.93 meters tall and 2.16 meters wingspan, and a pair of big hands that are comparable to Leonard and are not inferior to most forwards. Tucker, who has obvious prerequisites, should be very easy to end the basket, so he won’t struggle so much now. The problem is lack of training. It's very convincing that the free throw shooting percentage dropped from 80.7% to 80.0% to 73.5%.

If you want to have a free throw, you can only practice hard. Injury, Tucker Jr. missed the game for nearly three months due to a torn right thumb ligament in 21. Since then, he has missed the game due to injury both during the Jazz and the Bulls - attendance rates in the past two seasons were 62% and 66% respectively. Why didn't Langzo Ball play expectations? Why did Fultz fade out of the league? A large part of the reason is injury. To be precise, the injury caused the ball to come to an abrupt end.

Attitude

Except for the rookie season, Tucker Jr. has not per game interfering with the number of shots per game in the remaining seasons. Therefore, the real positive and negative values ​​of the defense have shown an upward trend of -0.2, -0.4, -0.5 and -1.1 in the past four seasons. As I said just now, Tucker's static talent is very good, but this lazy defensive attitude prevents him from becoming a qualified defender. To be precise, even if the opponent takes action in front of him, he is too lazy to raise his arms to interfere.

In summary, the reason why Tucker can't survive in the NBA is mainly due to the following three points:

1. The main ending method of the offensive end is inefficient brought by the inefficiency;

2. The attendance rate caused by the hidden danger of injury is not high;

3. The defensive attitude is lazy.

Relatively speaking, I think the third point is the main reason.

Take Vanderbilt as an example, the offensive efficiency is low and the potential for injury is also great, but as long as you can play, it will be very life-threatening on the defensive end. What it brings is still of some importance in the team.

In contrast, in the 2015, Okafor showed off his static talent and basketball talent were much higher than Tucker's younger brother, but he also faded out of the NBA too early because of his lazy defensive attitude.

Now look at it, Tucker Jr. is the "defender version" of Okafor.
