Based on his height and measurements — 6-4 with a 7-2 wingspan — Bulls guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker should have been a football player.
But because of his age and weight — he weighed more than most kids his age — he would have had to play two grade levels up, so he pivoted to basketball.
Horton-Tucker, who played high school ball at Simeon, has lived many lives in his NBA career. He has been a champion (as a rookie with the Lakers in 2020) and a starter, but he also has been yanked in and out of
rotations.
