Listen "Talen Horton-Tucker and Marc Gasol put on a show for the second preseason game against the Clippers"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the daily Laker, a Los Angeles Lakers fan podcast, today is Monday December 14th, 2020. This podcast is brought to you by brownlab media and brownlabmedia.com
Stats for the game: Talen Horton-Tucker finished the game with 33 points and 10 rebounds, Kyle Kuzma had 25 points, 6 rebounds, Montrezl Harrell had 19 points, 11 rebounds and Quinn Cook had 14 points and led the Lakers with 7 assists.
Highlights of the game: Marc Gasol spent a lot of time at the top of the key and used his court vision and smooth passing skills to get some nice assists to open teammates, this reminded me of the Pau Gasol years. Some of those passes from Marc were to THT who put on an offensive show with slashing layups, easy open dunks and step back shots, even finishing the game 4 for 5 from the 3 point land.
A storyline to pay attention to:
We got an article from the la times titled, The youngest Laker, Talen Horton-Tucker, is stealing the show so far in the preseason, in which the writer makes a case for more minutes for the young second year player. Many of the veterans in the team are shocked when they think about how confident he plays the game at only 20 years old. The Lakers come in to this season with a very deep team already but with Covid still being an obstacle that every team will face this year, the stronger the bench is the higher chances the teams will have at not missing numbers in the box score. Here is a quote from head coach Frank Vogel in regard to THT, “It’s going to make my job difficult for sure,” “We have a very deep team. No minutes are guaranteed.”
