Former Badger star Alando Tucker was named the NBA Developmental League's Player of the Week yesterday. Alando was coming off of a week averaging 36 Points and 6.5 Rebounds. Last Friday he scored 40 points, marking the highest total scored in an NBADL game this season.
Alando Tucker was also called back up to join the Phoenix Suns. It's likely that Alando could be making this transition a couple times this season. I think at this point he's a player that's too talented for the D-League, but at the same time is not ready to crack into the Suns' shallow rotation. On many nights, the Suns only go eight men deep. While he's going to be sitting on the bench most of the year on the Phoenix roster, in practice he then has the benefit of playing against some of the league's best players instead of dominating the D-League almost mindlessly.
It'll be interesting to see what happens with Alando as the season goes on. I know I'll be pulling for him no matter where he's playing on any given night, as should all Badger fans.
