Fantasy Analysis
Tucker, the Big Ten player of the year last season at Wisconsin, played in two of Phoenix's first 14 games and averaged six points and eight minutes. "It's the best thing for him," D'Antoni said of Tucker's demotion. "He needs to improve his shooting ... to have a chance. He wants to show he can play." Tucker is merely a long-term keeper at this juncture. (Updated 11/29/2007).
