Alando Tucker is a Phoenix Sun(s?)

For the next few weeks, the Blowtorch will be bringing you a series of rookie previews (complete with caricatures!) until we get through the first round. It all culminates with a ballin t-shirt commemorating the best draft in the history of awesomeness.

Alando Tucker


Strengths: fast at running, has 3 point range, loves dunking and/or getting fouled, went to University of Wisconsin - which some people think is a strength
Weaknesses: not a great first step, average defender, tweener

NBA Comparison (best-case): Luol Deng
NBA Comparison (worst-case): Sasha Pavlovic
NBA Comparison (most likely): Trenton Hassell

Went to school 15 minutes away from my house. Destroyed Lemont High School in first round of 2002 IHSA 2A Tournament. Was the tallest player on the floor and played SG.

Trenton Hassel...oh the memories. I was disappointed seeing Tucker go to the Suns, it will be hard for him to crack the rotation. I would love to see him play.
