Best Of P.J. Tucker | Welcome To Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks have acquired forward P.J. Tucker and forward Rodions Kurucs from the Houston Rockets in exchange for guard D.J. Augustin and forward D.J. Wilson. The Bucks were also returned their own 2022 first round draft pick and a Houston 2021 second round draft pick in exchange for Milwaukee’s 2021 and 2023 first round draft picks to complete the trade.

“P.J. Tucker checks all the boxes,” said Bucks General Manager Jon Horst. “He is a great teammate who brings a veteran presence with playoff experience. P.J.’s a versatile, high-IQ defender, and on the offensive end he plays with discipline, is unselfish, and spaces the court with his ability to knock down the three.

“Rodions is a talented, young player we feel will benefit from Coach Bud’s system that emphasizes player development and building good habits. Both players are highly competitive, and we welcome them to our family.”

Tucker, a 6-5, 245-pound forward, is in his 10th NBA season and holds career averages of 7.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 686 career games (510 starts) with Toronto, Phoenix and Houston. He’s a career 35.9 percent shooter from three and has led the league in made corner three-pointers each of the last three seasons. Additionally, Tucker has received multiple NBA All-Defensive team votes in six of the last seven seasons. This season with the Rockets, he averaged 4.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 32 games (all starts).

Originally selected by the Raptors with the 35th overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft out of Texas, Tucker has also played in 50 playoff games throughout his career (41 starts), all coming in the last four seasons where he’s advanced to the Conference Semifinals each year. In postseason action, Tucker is putting up 8.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 41.9 percent from three.
