Through two games of preseason action for the Los Angeles Lakers, Talen Horton-Tucker has turned heads as he has looked more confident on both ends of the floor.
In their first game against the L.A. Clippers, Wesley Matthews revealed Horton-Tucker caught the attention of Kawhi Leonard, a sign that the second-year player is making a name for himself.
Lakers Head coach Frank Vogel opted to start Horton-Tucker at point guard and the results were outstanding as he finished with 33 points, 10 rebounds and four steals in 41 minutes of action. “I wasn’t sure what to expect from him playing point guard for us as much as he did tonight,” Vogel said.
