The Los Angeles Lakers drafted Talen Horton-Tucker with the 46th pick in the summer of 2019. At the age of 19, Horton-Tucker is the second youngest player in the NBA. He’s got a lot of potential, but as seen by the amount of time he’s spent in the G League, he’s not quite ready yet to play on the big stage yet.
He is, however, very capable of dominating in the G League. Horton-Tucker dropped a season-high 37 points last night, going 13-27 from the field in South Bay’s loss to the Memphis Hustle.
