Talen Horton-Tucker had a solid first season in the NBA G League with the South Bay Lakers.

When he was selected with the 46th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Talen Horton-Tucker was a relatively unknown prospect to most fans of the Los Angeles Lakers. Upon a closer look, however, the 6-foot-4 guard appeared to hold a unique, versatile skillset and possessed a huge 7-foot-1 wingspan.

After spending the majority of the 2019-20 season with the South Bay Lakers, the 19-year-old received his first real shot with the Lakers as the season resumed in Orlando.
