Subject: Cain was one of the best rebounders to put on a UVa uniform ...

He had the length, instincts, ability to get off the floor quickly,
and toughness to be a great rebounder. He literally owned the
defensive glass his junior and senior years. It is hard to reconcile
his production with the image of Cain as a skinny guy with a horrible
haircut/mustache combo.

Tucker on the other hand is a guy who can give you 10-15 minutes off
the bench as an outside threat when the other team is playing a zone.
That's about it. He is a "short" 6'8 with little ability to defend
in the post. He could certainly give more effort on the defensive
glass but he has never appeared to be someone with the innate ability
to rebound.

Current Thread:

   Can Tucker be like Jason Cain his senior year?  --  smchoo76   Sat Oct 31 2009 11:54:17 PM
