Draymond Green has high praise for P.J. Tucker’s corner 3-point shooting

During the Rockets game two matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers, Draymond Green had high praise for P.J. Tucker’s corner 3-point shooting.

Although the Golden State Warriors aren’t on the court in the Orlando Bubble, Draymond Green has been tuning in for the NBA’s postseason slate.

With the second round of the playoffs underway, the former Defensive Player of the Year has been appearing with the crew at the NBA on TNT as an analyst. While he wasn’t behind the camera for the Houston Rockets game two matchups with the Los Angeles Lakers, Green brought his takes to Twitter.

While James Harden and Russell Westbrook are the headlining pieces for Houston, Green was focused on a different member of the Rockets. On Sunday night, the Golden State forward said Houston’s P.J. Tucker “may be” the best corner 3-point shooter in NBA history. High praise from a player that’s played all of his career alongside Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.

Via @Money23Green on Twitter:

On 2.9 attempts per contest, Tucker is averaging 36.1% from beyond the arc in his career. Since lacing up at the NBA’s Disney World campus, the Texas product is shooting 28.6% from deep on 5.3 long-range attempts per game.

In game two against the Lakers, Tucker tallied a double with 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field. The veteran forward added 11 rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal. Tucker’s 18 point performance was the most he’s scored since joining the Orlando Bubble.

On his way to registering 18 points, Tucker was able to knock down a pair of triples from the corner.

Despite Tucker’s impressive performance, it wasn’t enough to hold off LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Both James and Davis recorded double-doubles against the Rockets, combining for 62 points and 21 rebounds. Behind their All-Star forwards, the Lakers moved to 2-0 in the series over the Rockets with a 117-109 victory.

Tucker and the Rockets will suit up for game three against the Lakers on Tuesday at 6 P.M. PT.
