DePaul sophomore Dar Tucker said Thursday he is thinking of "testing the waters" and entering his name in the NBA draft after the season. "I'm not saying I'm going," Tucker told the Tribune. "I'm going to do what I can and work out. I know it's hard to make it. -- I don't know if I'm ready, but it's better for me to see it and experience it and then go back to what you do." Tucker, an athletic 6-foot-4-inch small forward, leads the Blue Demons in scoring at 18.5 points a game but shoots just 39.4 percent. He would have to play guard in the NBA and needs work on his ball-handling.

Just like 100 other sophomores. Big story.

Not a good ball handler and at that height he is a SG not a SF.

Smells like a second round draft pick to me.

Translation: I'm flunking out of school so I'd better go now.

0-17 in big east play...he's clearly not too interested in winning games.

0-17 Tucker should probably stay....plus that 39% FG is not too nice either
