well let’s say the Jazz fans aren’t sad to see THT go. Seems like most Lakers fans feel the same about Dinwiddie. Still for one of your last roster spots, you could do much worse. Here is Hollinger write up on THT earlier this summer in his shooting guard rankings.
8. Talen Horton-Tucker, Utah: $11,726,973
This likely wildly overvalues Horton-Tucker, who has an interesting intersection of age (23) and shot creation but has never put the ball in the basket effectively enough to warrant having it in his hands so much. The eye is drawn first to his iffy 3-ball (29.3 percent career), but the 43.8 percent mark on shots inside the arc last season was arguably the bigger problem. He’d be an upside play for a rebuilding team, especially one with a shot doctor on staff.
