-It’s been a pleasure seeing the development from Rucker even just from the end of last season to today as an intriguing wing prospect. He has really smoothened out his movement skills as a prospect that is starting to take his man off the bounce with much more frequency while also showing an ability to slide those puppies at the other end of the floor in ball screen coverages. Rucker should serve as an impactful cutter in the halfcourt that can finish plays above the rim but also has finesse finishes in his bag with up n under’s, runners, and floaters. If he can add weight to his frame and extend his range to beyond the three point line– I think his recruitment will take off and he should be an X factor for the Knights this season.
