Summary

Pete and Mike are joined by PD Web (Twitter: @abovethebreak3) to discuss Talen Horton Tucker's offensive and defensive development, going in depth into THT's progress on his jump shot, his spatial awareness and advantage creation skills on offense and defense, and why it might be important to view his development as 2 players: one who can help a team now with championship aspirations and one who can be featured with a bigger role as a 25 year old player.

What do you think about the Laker team now?

0:03.5

You follow the box scores of the games every day?

0:06.0

Just the Lakers.

0:07.3

You're kidding.

0:08.6

That is really a compliment.

0:12.8

I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face.

0:17.8

You don't smile much out there.

0:20.4

I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast, brought to you by the Blue Wire Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Mike. It's a travel day for Darius, so he won't be with us today. But we are joined by as a special guest. One of the things that I love about basketball is how much it changes based on

0:39.2

the perspective that you're looking at it. It's fascinating, you know, from a bird's eye view,

0:43.4

but it's also fascinating up close. And it's fascinating in a completely different way than it is

0:47.9

from that bird's eye view. And zoomed in like that is where we're going to spend a lot of

0:53.2

this episode, specifically focused on

that front. Thank you so much for joining us, PD. Great to have you on the show. Wow,
