Rayjon Tucker excelling after giving up football for hoops

Posted Jun 27, 2014
Rayjon Tucker spent the spring making a name for himself in recruiting circles. The biggest reason why is his athleticism. A 6-foot-5 wing, Tucker has the kind of strength and explosiveness that allows him to finish above the rim, over defenders, through contact and...well, all of the above, which also has made Tucker a favorite of the mixtape cameramen. So would you believe that Tucker, a member of the Class of 2015, has only been playing basketball seriously for two years? (NBC Sports)
