Miami Heat: P.J. Tucker Continuing Upon One Of His Best Years Ever

With that, there are statistical seasons in P.J. Tucker’s career that may be a bit better than the one he’s currently having, stressing the “a bit” part, but those same seasons don’t share the same meaningfulness that this one does.

What that means is that though he was putting up the numbers in those other years that may match this season’s output, the influence or impact on winning at the highest levels wasn’t that moved by those numbers.

That’s exactly the opposite of what he’s found himself doing for the Miami Heat. What really also makes this a, somewhat, easy case is the fact that the numbers he put up in those other seasons on lesser teams are even close to his current numbers.
