NBA Draft Scouting Report: Indiana’s Bryson Tucker
Bryson Tucker
Wing | Indiana
Height: 6’6″ | Weight: 180 lbs
2025 Draft Age: 18.97
At any level of basketball, wings with good positional size and the ability to generate points are extremely important. That’s why Tucker is such an intriguing prospect, who at 6-foot-6 brings a lot to the table despite being extremely young.
Tucker thrives in the midrange and has proven to be very effective in scoring from that area, but still struggles when stepping out beyond the arc. That will be a huge swing for him as it relates to draft stock as his lack of a consistent 3-point shot is limiting for him today. When Tucker gets to his spots, he’s very efficient with his movements. He doesn’t waste dribbles and plays the angles well. The young freshman also plays with good pace and generally makes quality decisions with the ball in his hands. Again, Tucker does a little bit of everything on the floor. He’s an adequate passer for a wing and has also proven to be a quality glass cleaner on both ends of the floor when it comes to rebounding.
One of the most intriguing things about Tucker is his two-way upside. There’s a case to be made that what he brings on the defensive end is actually the best part of his game. Tucker covers ground quickly and has the frame to defend multiple positions. He defends with physicality and isn’t afraid of the moment. The Indiana freshman likes to take on the opposing team’s best perimeter scorer and is usually very effective at slowing that player down. That defensive versatility will prove to be very valuable moving forward.
Tucker is one of the youngest players in this upcoming draft class, as he will be 18 on the night of the 2025 NBA Draft. Even then, he’s a well-developed prospect who does things that could help an NBA team as a rookie. The former four-star recruit was widely considered a top-25 player in his high school class and has as much upside as any freshman in the country this season. His father played college ball at NC State and was a standout scorer, so Tucker will look to follow in his footsteps at this level.

KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — It’s fair season and a new law uncorks adult beverage sales!
The new Indiana law will go into effect July 1st, making it legal to sell alcohol at county fairs.
The Kosciusko County Fair is set to kick off in just a few weeks and Indiana is officially allowing alcohol to be sold.
The law is bringing back something that’s not necessarily new to this fair.
Here’s what you need to know
The new law will go into effect on July 1st. It officially allows county fairs to apply for fee-free permits to sell alcohol.
Officials with the Kosciusko County Fair say they are participating this year. They are implementing the same guidelines they used when they sold alcohol just at grandstand events.
The difference now is, you can walk around the grounds with your drink. But strict guidelines will be in place for purchasing a drink.
“Actually, we’ve never had any issues. Because we card everybody, so we take that seriously. We also got the ID guides so we can identify the different types of IDs,” said Sheal Dirck, Treasurer of Kosciusko County Fair.
The Kosciusko County Fair already have guidelines in place, so this was an easy transition for the fair.
They will be the only vendors selling alcohol, which will make it easier to control distribution.
The sales will also bring in more revenue.
“Hopefully it allows to keep our ticket prices where they are because right now, insurance, utilities and everything else is going sky high and it’s hard to make ends meet,” said Dirck.
However, some fairs cannot participate because of the July 1st start date, like the Pulaski County Fair, which is going on right now. Pulaski County officials said it is on the agenda for next year. Whereas other fairs are choosing to sit this year out.
“We wanted not spend some time to, to see what that really means for us. It was not a decision we wanted to rush into. But we are happy for the option of it,” said Shelly Steury, GM of Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds.
Leaders at the St. Joseph County and Elkhart County Fairs said neither of them are selling alcohol.
The Kosciusko County Fair is the only fair that will sell alcohol in our area this year.
