Vogel considering starting Dwight Howard in Game 2

Man, talk about the rich getting richer. It’s unbelievable that the Lakers may have unearthed and managed to keep the best of the many great late first round and early second round picks they’ve made the last few years.

I’m so impressed that I can’t help hyping and going glass overflowing about Talen Horton-Tucker. This kid is going to be the real deal and could be the point guard of the future for the Lakers and a potential superstar to play with Anthony Davis once LeBron James hangs up his sneakers at 40 years old.

What’s so impressive about Talen besides the ridiculous fact that he just turned 20-years old is how promising he is in so many areas. He definitely can play the 1, 2, and 3 and defend the 2 and 3. Like we always discuss, his ability to shoot from deep is going to be a big key to how far and fast he is going to improve.

The he shot 54.7% from the field, 53.8% (7 of 13) from three, and 17 of 19 (89.5%) from the line is encouraging. I think that 17 of 19 from the line is really impressive and shows his three ball might be legitimate. He could be one of those 50/40/90 guys down the line. He’s going to be our point guard of the future.
