Jordan Tucker

Jordan Tucker might be the steal of the year — at least within the ACC.

With time narrowing down for him to choose between Georgia Tech and Syracuse, Duke swept in and offered Tucker after Kevin Knox committed to Kentucky. With Duval, Trent, and Carter in his class — Allen and Bolden likely to start — Tucker may not see tons of playing time.

But make no mistake, he is more than capable of putting on a show. He’s 6-7 and 207 pounds, built a lot like Jayson Tatum but not quite as developed as a scorer just yet. He will provide valuable depth for a team that did not trust their reserves a year ago.
