Mack Tuck to replace Dion Glover in Riyadi

[Kings]

After the disappointing performance by Dion Glover during his trial period with Riyadi and due to a sever unhealed knee injury, Riyadi decided to replace Glover with the 32 year old American Mack Tuck who was recently playing with Shangdong Jinsidun Lions in China.
Tuck's profile asserts that he is a very good 3 pt shooter, an excellent finisher, and great defender – a real scorer. Could Tuck be the long awaited for player who will close the gap that Tony Madison left in the club? The club will be evaluating Mack's fitness as soon as he arrives to Lebanon tomorrow Thursday.

I used to watch Dion Glover at GA Tech years ago. He was great and I always thought he would make a great NBA player. Injuries are such a serious problem.
