The Chicago Bulls have reportedly welcomed home Chicago native Talen Horton-Tucker on a partially guaranteed contract. Shams Charania of The Athletic broke the news of the signing on Wednesday evening.
A Fresh Start in Chicago
After a tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz, Talen Horton-Tucker is set to embark on a new chapter with the Bulls. Despite facing challenges with his shooting, notably hitting a career-low 39.6% from the field last season, the young guard remains a promising talent with significant room for growth. Last season with the Jazz, Horton-Tucker averaged 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists over 51 games, showcasing his potential as a versatile backcourt option.
Opportunity Knocks
The Bulls present Talen Horton-Tucker with an opportunity to solidify his place in the NBA. With 14 players currently holding fully guaranteed contracts, Horton-Tucker's ability to make an impact will be crucial during the preseason. The team's backcourt, which currently features the likes of Zach LaVine, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmo, and Josh Giddey, promises competitive depth, setting the stage for Horton-Tucker to prove his worth.
