Utah Jazz guard Talen Horton-Tucker sat down with Tribune Jazz writer Andy Larsen to talk about his early season start and why he thinks fans should believe in his improvement.
The Utah Jazz guard has drawn some criticism for the team’s slow start, but the 22-year-old has confidence in his game and what he can do to help turn things around.
I asked Horton-Tucker if he wanted to have the chance to speak to Jazz fans about the scrutiny, and its typical focuses: his shot selection, shooting ability, passing and turnovers. Here’s our conversation.“I feel like just being a young guard in the NBA is already a challenge. I feel like being 22, you have the opportunity to only get better. You get an opportunity to play in this role, this is my first opportunity getting that.
“I want to just keep bringing us up. Because I feel like when they’re making shots, it opens up, it’s easy for me to get downhill and then get more shots for everybody. So that’s really the most important thing is — I really just want to make everybody better around me. If you do that, it opens everything for you.”“It’s been great, honestly. I’ve always been a player that’s been unselfish.
You were one of the youngest players in the NBA when you were drafted, only 18 years old. What have you learned over the last five seasons?
