Without Jordan Clarkson neither Collin SextonIt is Talen Horton-Tucker who finds himself a leader for the Jazz. Enough to allow him to shine against Charlotte with 37 points (14/24), 10 assists and 8 rebounds.
The former Laker drove the Hornets crazy, both literally and figuratively as he multiplied the “spin moves” to cut Charlotte’s defense. All at his own pace.
“He understands what is true and what is not” explains Will Hardy on his 22-year-old back, whom he nevertheless describes as “old soul”. “He understands that up until now he hasn’t gotten what he really wanted in the NBA. He wants more. He wants to be in the rotation. He wants to be a key player”.
He showed why this night, between his very good reading of the game and his complete offensive game, thus punishing his opponents near the circle, but also at mid-distance or even behind the 3-point line.
Even if he had already scored 40 points last year against the Warriors, it’s a real explosion for Talen Horton-Tucker, stuck at 23 points this season. An explosion that does not surprise him.
“I don’t want to be presumptuous but I just feel like I can do it. It is not the first time. »
