LBJ看完Talen Horton-Tucker在高中的比賽後印象深刻 他就叫Rich Paul去招募他

There wasn’t much hype around Lakers guard Talen Horton-Tucker coming out of
high school. He was the 66th-ranked prospect in his class, according to ESPN,
and he didn’t start to get attention from major schools until after his
sophomore year.
當湖人後衛Talen Horton-Tucker從高中畢業後並沒有太多人注意。根據ESPN的資料，他在
那屆球員排名第66，他在中學第二年之前也沒有得到太多有名學校的注意。

There also wasn’t much buzz around Horton-Tucker after his freshman season
at Iowa State University. Despite making the 2018-19 Big 12 All-Freshman
team, Horton-Tucker was projected to be drafted in the mid-second round in
2019. Some mock drafts even had him going undrafted.
當他在Iowa州大打球的第一年也是差不多。儘管他入選2018-19 Big 12聯盟的新人隊伍，
在2019年的NBA選秀他也只被預期會在第二輪中段被選上，甚至一些模擬選秀認為他不會被
球隊選上。

But Horton-Tucker did manage to catch the attention of one of the most
prominent figures in basketball when he was in high school: LeBron James.
但是Horton-Tucker還是找到了方式，在高中的時候，就吸引到了籃球界裡最重要人物之一
的人的目光：LBJ。

“I saw him about three and half, four years ago,” James said of
Horton-Tucker. “I was watching a high school basketball game and I happened
to catch Simeon playing. And I told our agent at the time — it’s now Talen’
s agent, Rich Paul — that he needs to take a look at this kid Talen
Horton-Tucker that’s at Simeon. I think the kid is super talented. This was
like four years ago.
「我差不多是3年半或是4年前看到他的，」LBJ說到THT。「我那時候是在看一場高中籃球
比賽，剛好是Simeon高中的比賽。我就跟我的經紀人--現在也是THT的經紀人，Rich Paul-
我跟他說他得要看一下在Simeon高中的THT。我認為這孩子超級有天賦的，那差不多是四年
前。」

“Long story short, obviously you see what he’s doing now, and he’s going
to continue to get better and better and better as the days go on. He’ll
have an opportunity to practice against us — the guys, the veterans, and
things of that nature — so he’s just going to continue to improve, and he’
s going to do some really good things in this league for a long time.”
「簡而言之，很明顯的大家看到現在他的表現，而且隨著時間過去，他會持續的進步再進
步。他將會有機會跟我們練習--跟其他球員，跟一些老將練習，以及其他的部分--他將會
持續進步，在這聯盟，他將會做到一些很棒的事情，而且可以做的很久。」
