During the late summer months of 2022 the Lakers traded Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Patrick Beverly. While much of the media focused on the Lakers end of the deal in acquiring Beverly what seemed to go unnoticed in the coming season was the success of Tucker. Tucker, selected by the Orlando Magic in the 2019 NBA Draft and then traded to the Lakers on draft night, has thrived in his time with the Jazz. In his first season with the Jazz Tucker achieved his highest average totals in points per game (10.7), assists per game (3.8), rebounds per game (3.2 both in 21-22 and 22-23), and games started (20). On March 29, 2023, Tucker would notch a new career high in points as he would score 41 points in a 128-117 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
