Talen Horton-Tucker

A second-round pick out of Iowa State in 2019, Horton-Tucker spent much of his rookie season in the G League, but he made the most of his opportunities at the NBA level. Horton-Tucker appeared in four consecutive seeding games in the NBA bubble, logging three double-digit scoring performances, including a 14-point, four-rebound, three-assist, three-steal performance in the Lakers' final tune-up before the playoffs. Entering Year 2, the 20-year-old has drawn rave reviews from his Lakers teammates, as well as the coaching staff. With a pair of impressive preseason performances under his belt, Horton-Tucker has the makings of a potential second-round steal. The question is whether he'll find consistent minutes for the Lakers, who added more depth in the offseason. In the short term, Horton-Tucker is more of a draft-and-stash candidate, but his long-term upside is extremely intriguing.
