Playing without Donovan Mitchell, Rayjon Tucker turned in a career performance on Monday as the Utah Jazz were defeated by the Dallas Mavericks, 122-114.
Tucker helped lead the way off of the bench after scoring a career-high 17 points, his first double-digit scoring effort. He shot 4-of-7 from the field and was successful in getting to the free-throw, making 8-of-9 attempts from the charity stripe.
Tucker, who went undrafted out of Little Rock, emerged as perhaps the best player in the NBA G League this season, which prompted the Jazz to sign him in December. He established himself as a versatile offensive player and can score from virtually all over the court.
His skill set was certainly on display with the Jazz, despite dropping the contest after leading by as many as 22 points. Tucker may not get a big opportunity during the postseason but he has proven that he will be ready should his number be called.
