Maybe you could get a way with Tucker, but he does not really rebound or protect the rim. In Boston its Horford that allows them to play 5 out. Its a shame we didn't try trading KP for Horford last offseason. He would have been perfect here.
I'll hold a massive "L" on Horford as I thought he was way too old and got way too big of a contract.
Tucker can still play good defense even if he can't block shots like Maxi. It's funny you mentioned rebounding, which you are mostly correct about, but he had some huge offensive boards to put the 76ers away. Dude is a corner sniper too. On the Mavs, he'd play the 5 spot. I wonder how much the Bucks regret not signing him.
