Talen Horton-Tucker Playing Himself Into Lakers' Rotation 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Dec 14, 2020 1:13 pm

The strong play of Talen Horton-Tucker in preseason will almost certainly change Frank Vogel's rotation this season for the Los Angeles Lakers.


"It's going to make my job difficult for sure," Vogel said.


Horton-Tucker had 33 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals in Sunday's preseason win over the Clippers.


"We have a very deep team. No minutes are guaranteed," Vogel said. "He's going to keep playing at a high level, and that should push everybody else to stay playing at a high level. It does give us that luxury of having him carry the load some for some of our guys who played deep in the championship run last year and had a short offseason."

One of my favorite players in that draft class. He has the hands and wingspan of a center, the ability to finish around the rim, and the ability to shoot from deep. This guy has so much potential. I have no idea how he fell so far of the draft. It was sad to see the Warriors pass him up multiple times.
