Rockets’ forward P.J. Tucker is one of the most underrated 3-pointers shooters in the league. Tucker is an average distance shooter from straightaway, but he shot 39.3 percent on corner 3s last season and shot 37.7 percent from downtown overall.
Tucker’s corner 3-point shooting proficiency makes him a perfect fit in Houston’s typical offensive set, which has two guys at each corner and a player on the wing with the ball-handler and center running the pick-and-roll up top.
At USA Basketball’s training camp for the FIBA Basketball World Cup, Tucker, along with Kyle Kuzma, Brook Lopez and Joe Harris competed in a fun little 3-point shootout from the left corner.
