Although it’d be easy to assume that Talen Horton-Tucker would have an increased role this season, coming into his third year and after re-signing for big money this summer — just from a natural career progression standpoint — nothing can ever be guaranteed on a Lakers team with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. When you throw in Russell Westbrook, THT’s role increasing becomes even more unlikely.
However, THT stans (like myself and apparently the person who runs the Overtime Twitter account) can rest assured that they may be seeing plenty of him this season after listening to Frank Vogel on Spectrum SportsNet’s “Lakeshow” podcast.
