Mission accomplished for Talen Horton-Tuckerwho managed to obtain a guaranteed contract for the regular season from the Bullsnoted ESPN.
Initially invited to the franchise's training camp, “THT” was able to prove that he deserved to stay in Illinois and, when we know that he is from Chicagohe could hardly dream of a more beautiful story. His performances in preseason (13.0 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds) obviously made the difference in the eyes of the local leaders, and we will remember his performance on Friday against the Cavaliers to snatch the victory in overtime.
NBA champion in 2020
Only 23 years old, and about to start his… sixth season in the league (!), Talen Horton-Tucker will thus experience a third team after the Lakers and then the Jazz. Last season, he played in Utah, averaging 10.1 points, 3.5 assists and 2.4 rebounds.
Able to play in all three outfield positions, the 2020 champion will face competition from Zach LaVine, Josh Giddey, Lonzo Ball, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Jevon Carter, Dalen Terry and even Chris Duarte.
