Anstey sooks re Tucker Non-Star
"Although he is a teammate, I am being very unbiased when I ask, how the hell could Rashad Tucker miss out on the All-Star Game?" Anstey wrote on his website. "It is a joke."The Tigers already have three players in the game (Anstey, McDonald and Thomas), yet Melbourne want more.
When Anstey calls Tucker's absence "a joke" he is criticising the fans of the league and especially those of his own team, and also the media.
The players picked ahead of Tucker for the World bench, in some cases to ensure that every team has a representative, are:
Mike Helms - Guard (Hunter Pirates)
Willie Farley - Guard (Adelaide 36ers)
Brant Bailey - Forward (New Zealand Breakers)
Adam Ballinger - Forward (Wollongong Hawks)
Rolan Roberts - Centre (Sydney Kings)
Tucker features in the top ten of only two NBL categories: 4.5 assists per game, but is the least reliable ball handler in the league with 4.2 turnovers per game - an APT ratio of barely over 1.
