While much of the focus for the Los Angeles Lakers has been on the new players brought in, it is a returning one who could make a huge difference in just how good the team will be. Talen Horton-Tucker was re-signed this offseason and should be in line for a much bigger role and could perhaps be a starter this year.
Horton-Tucker’s development will be closely watched as the team refused to include him in any trade talks as they view him as a big part of the team’s future. He showed flashes of what he can become last season and he has surely been hard at work this summer in order to take another leap in his third season.
