The @Lakers Horton-Tucker scored 72 points in his first 3 games back from surgery.
He scored 47 points in his next 8 games.
Frank Vogel said there is still going to be a grooming period for THT, who just turned 21, but they see him as growing into a role of taking on the best defensive assignment each night, while improving to being an above average 3-point shooter to go with his drive game.
Frank Vogel says he saw “some good, some bad” from the new starting lineup in the last game. He felt a lot of their struggles in the first half came down to just missing shots.
