No. 1 Bucks free agent who could be a fit with the LA Clippers: PJ Tucker

PJ Tucker would be a great defensive presence for the LA Clippers moving forward.

Tucker has been a great defensive presence on the floor for years now.

He’s always tasked with taking on the toughest opposing players to defend, and he does well.

That’s especially true in the playoffs, as he’s averaged 1.2 steals per game in his last three postseasons. Tucker only started in one of the 20 games he played in for the Bucks this regular season, but started 19 of the 23 this year.

He’s a 39.9% three-point shooter in the playoffs, and shot 39.4% this regular season with Milwaukee.

The Clippers like those guys. Guys who can shoot the lights out, and then go play lockdown defense on the other end.

Next. DeMar DeRozan is a perfect fit with LAC. dark

They’d like any of these three players. We don’t know if any of these Bucks would start for the Clippers, but they all would at least provide depth for a team that could use a few backup options, considering they have a lot of recent injury history.
