I play: Because I love the game and it’s getting me to places that I would probably never see if I didn’t play

My basketball moment: Winning the championship my junior year in high school. It was my first championship and my school’s first in like 50 years.

    Tucker sounds like he’s got a lot of heart and a good work ethic. I can’t wait to see this guy shine.
