Daily News | Sixers’ P.J. Tucker opens up about his lack of scoring
ORLANDO, Fla. — P.J. Tucker’s involvement in the 76ers offense was a hot topic Sunday morning.
“As long as we’re winning, it doesn’t matter,” Tucker said. “Of course you want to get more shots. What player doesn’t? But with the way we play — Coach talks about lack of ball movement all the time — it’s one of those things. Sometimes you get shots, sometimes you don’t. You keep playing and figure it out.”P.J. Tucker needs to feel involved on offense for Sixers to succeed and avoid Al Horford 2.
But the Sixers do need to make a more conscious effort to get Tucker the ball. That will enable him to make a play with a pass to feel involved instead of just running to the corner. Tucker can make a difference touching the ball without scoring a point. When he finally did attempt a shot, Tucker was often out of rhythm. But the Sixers are at their best when the ball moves, especially with their dominant offensive threat Joel Embiid sidelined with a strained left foot.
