Not only has PJ Tucker proved to be an important piece now for the Erik Spoelstra led Miami heat but has shown how he can adjust his game alongside young players like Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson. Moreover, ever since he has joined the Heat in the 2021-22 season, the team looks a more comprehensive defensive unit.
Lastly, Tucker’s arrival was viewed as a fitting move, primarily because of his playing style. He is a tough hustle player who can defend the opponent’s best player while knocking down spot-up threes each game—practically aligned with the Miami Heat’s culture.
The ‘savvy’ veteran is averaging more points with the Heat this season while also shooting 43.9% from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, in the eastern conference standings, the Heat are currently jostling against the Milwaukee Bucks, Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls.
