Joah to NBA?

[bigjim98]

I agree that tucker has along way to go but frankly his offensive game in the second half of the season did resemble the dog and any d would be better....i have watched 90% of glenn's college games and think it's a much stronger comp than Q....

ok Ilook up Q stats from depaul for his carrer he shot 321 3 pointers and made 117 which comes out to about 36%. In his last year he made 73 3 pointers whhich is the most 3 pointers made in one season in Depaul history. He did greatly improve his 3 point shooting in his final year. Joah in only 2 years of play compared to Q 3 is 28 of 88 for 31%. So if Joah shoots about 200 more 3s next year and knocks a good percentage of them down then your comparison is right on. Which could very well happen, so i will give Kaygee some early props. But Q did have a outside game in college.

But lets get one thing straight living 10 minutes from the allstate arena does not mean you attended the game. Even more so, having family that lives 10 mintues from the stadium gives you know greater basketball expertise. I never denied seeing a game in person gives you a better perspective. As for "classless UIC fans" when did come on your board dissing your team. I never called any of your members a douche bag. Maybe some people should open there eyes and see a different perspective or at least whos writing the posts.

I believe Joah is definitly capabable of playing in the NBA and he should declare himself elgible without taking a agent

I think Joah can become the leader of this team and if he can dominate and work on his outside shooting he could be a draft pick next year but i think even declareing himself this year is a mistake

There is no way he's an NBA player...yet.

He ABSOLUTELY has to be a 4-year college player. If you think about the NBA draft, there are only two rounds. Fill some of it up with high school guys and foreign players, and you're left with little room.

As another point, no one leaves school early to be a second round pick. So, in the first round last year, 15 of the 29 picks were from college. Can Joah be drafted among the top 15 college players coming out? No way.

Joah Tucker can definitely be an NBA player, but he's going to be someone who works his way there, not someone who gets drafted high, pulls in millions and coasts on through. Look at people like Juan Dixon or Chris Duhon..I know its a different position, but those were DOMINANT college players...just awesome. As NBA players, they were mediocre picks who have found their way.
