Okay... maybe it’s me and I’ve been more out of the loop in basketball then I’d care to admit, but whoooo exactly is a Round 2 Pick 42 ,Talen Horton-Tucker? He has next to no stats from the season. Played a minute or two
A game with a .5 stat here and there..
And WHY are his cards blowing up like crazy? Like up there with highest asking price for rookie this year not named Zion or Ja.
I saw an article where Lebron James said he is going to be great, Anthony Davis saying kind words, Lakers organization saying he is going to do big things...... but I mean this Is LA, and of course your vets are gonna pump up the hell out of their young guys talents. Is the card spike prices all do due just these compliments made toward him? I’ll see 10 card optic lots for $150 everywhere. Or is this just the new “craze” dump guy? This one intrigues me

[abidtsteele]

Had a big preseason game. Lebron hyped him.

Thats all it takes these days (he was very solid in G league last year fwiw)

[Ryanfreelreel]

I bought a optic silver holo but that’ll be all on him
For me right now. Seems wayyyyy too much like an investment on the sellers ends who hoarded this guy to have all these 20 card optic lots all over eBay , and not very likely to be in the odds of good investment turnaround for the buyer. Didn’t this happen with that white guy in philly a few years ago? Korkmaz? Stuff went crazy for
Little over a week then completely died off

[abidtsteele]

happens every year. Normally during summer league. Since no SL this year, its happening in the preseason

[asujbl]

Remember when Bol Bol was selling for $500?

Clockwork

[Ryanfreelreel]

This guy having Lebron go to bat for him *may* just be enough to keep his prices somewhat elevated, until he either actually gets minutes and isn’t worth the money, or the lesser likely, gets minutes and it’s realized he’s worth the money, and more

He’s not going to get any regular season minutes. He’s probably going to the G league again this year.

[Ryanfreelreel]

I mean I hope he makes the team
And gets minutes, mostly so I don’t have to feel as stupid dropping $27 on that silver optic holo

[cardbored]

Kawhi was asking Wes Matthews about him during the game, so he may have left an impression. Vogel seems to like the kid a lot too. Doesn't justify prices, but I bought a bunch of THT on the 9th, so I'm not complaining.

Did you go in on just a young prospect, or Lakers fan?

[cardbored]

Saw the hype from the Lakers camp (Twitter is great for that), and figured he'd get a bunch of minutes in preseason, so it was purely speculative. COMC makes it easy to buy a bunch at once, so I bought around 92 cards that night (mostly Optic/Fanatics and lower-end, but a couple autos as well). Plus, he's in the Hoops Premium Stock sets, so I have 22 more there. Probably a small position compared to some.

Did you go in on just a young prospect, or Lakers fan?

[abidtsteele]

He is listed on the 2 deep as Brons backup fwiw. Not sure if it will stay that way

[prospectorgems]

I cashed out on this guy in the bubble so it's not a huge surprise to me he is selling well again. Probably won't get a ton of playing time this year, but will be interesting to watch.

[packerfan4200]

Happy I sold a silver Holo for $70 yesterday. Hope buyer does well on it, but I’m taking the money and running. Was rather surprised that the card had over 400 views and 16 watchers in the little over 5 hours it was listed. It’s crazy out there I guess

Fun aside:

Prizm Draft Color flying off the shelves

This is a good thing

[mrchipz]

Kid is the real deal.just turned 20 years old 2 weeks ago. 2nd youngest player in the nba i believe right now. he is a 5 tool player. great defender. like a mini Giannis with his tool set. can score, rebound, assist, get steals, accurate free throw shooter, etc. plus he is a laker and the 1st laker rookie to get excited about in a while.
like i posted before i started heavily collecting him last december and even have a buy thread on here from febuary when i was buying him back then.
i think him and his cards have a ton of room to grow still. this is only the beginning. he will be a future star.
people laughed at me in the giannis thread when i hyped giannis up years ago when his prizm rookies started selling for $50 each from $5 each a few weeks before.
this can be the same outcome.
he is a good player, young, signed with clutch sports so he is lebron and AD's friend, a laker and he does not have that many rookie cards.
no prizm nba card, no true rpas, not many autos and only a hand few of on card autos out there.
call it hype if you want buy i think people have been and still are sleeping on this kid.
vogel played him during the playoffs a few months ago that should tell you something.
he also dropped tons of 30+ point games with many double doubles in the g league that many missed.

[ThePackLife]

Went through my stash and only found five cards. Needless to say... I'm salty right now. lol

[jrb]

Was a 2nd round sleeper for me coming out last year. Panini was clueless for not putting him in Prizm (even more so since he was drafted by the Lakers).

Very young for his draft class. Probably should have been drafted higher but he has an unusual body type. 6'4" with a huge wingspan and strength/bulk. 3pt shooting was bad in college and g league (30%).

[Bronconation24]

imagine if he had a prizm rc

Not to worry. Panini was able to get Miye Oni, Jordan Bone, Jaylen Hands, Quinndary Weatherspoon and others in Prizm. No need for Talen.

time will tell. card prices are insane across the board this isnt 2018 anymore. you want a chance to pull one of his optic or other good cards from a hobby box you gotta spend over $1000 just for a chance now a days. wax prices high will keep in demand cards higher.

[mrchipz]

Well, I actually applaud anybody holding long term - because this is a hot potato. I haven't seen something this crazy since the bubble.

Happens all the time. i was buying giannis prizm rookies for $5 a few years ago. then $10 a few weeks after that. when they hit $20 a week after that everyone was screaming sell, sell!

i was still buying and buying and buying even when they went up to $50 each just a few weeks later.
everyone on here was screaming sell, its all in the giannis thread from years ago.

i held. i finally sold almost all of them a few months after that for $300 each. had over 100 of them. so was i smart to sell my giannis prizm rookies for $300 each? i sold a bgs 9.5 purple prizm /49 rookie card of his for $1100 that i paid $45 for that got lost and i was out the money and the card thread here for reference https://www.blowoutforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223047

so was i smart to sell that card? NO, cause now thats a $11,000-$20,000 card.

at the end of the day you gotta buy who you like and sell when you think is right.

no one thought giannis was gonna be as good as he was except a few people like me that were buying his cards for pennies. if they did they would have never sold.

i regret selling my prizm rookies at $300, i sold 14 bgs 10 pristine prizm rookies at $550, those are $6,000 each now.
everyone was screaming sell all the time on him and i listened to too many people. if i had held another year or 2 instead of making $50,000+ in profit i no bs would have made a million dollars. i had quite the giannis stash at one point.

so will THT be the next giannis, maybe he will maybe he wont.
he looks amazing and some of us that were smart to pick him up last year should not be ridiculed by people that never knew who he was or salty cause they dont own any of his cards. not saying you are but people on here do that.

its a different time in the sports cards market the past 2 years. hobby boxes are $1000+ now on average for good nba cards like prizm and optic.
that keeps the prices of the singles high as well. many big money people and famous people are collecting now, skys the limit.

with that being said just like i said in the giannis thread years ago i think that THT is very undervalued still as a player and his cards. he was 19 just 2 weeks ago, 2nd youngest player in the nba, signed with clutch sports, friends with lebron and ad, has the respect of the coaching staff, skys the limit.
i have a strong feeling that some of the cards i am selling now to pay for some of the money i spent on him i will regret big time in a year or 2 like i did with giannis.

some people just have a better eye for scouting. whether it be in sports and drafting rookies or in card collecting and investing in the right guys when they are cheap.

so lets just take cards out of the picture and focus on THT the player, he is off to a tremendous start so far at his age with the right team, the right coaches, the right teammates, the right leadership, the right mentorship, the right city. the stars are only starting to align.

Your opinion. mine is that he is and he is showing it.
whos better? based on performance and age.
if you were building a team right now for the future you wouldnt pick him 3rd? he just turned 20 2 weeks ago. if i was a gm drafting for a future team and only had the lakers roster to choose from he would go 3rd.

kostas- nope, lucky to have the name of his brother.
cacock- nope, has some raw potential.
dudley- nope, seriously.
caruso-nope, love his game but hes just ok at everything and good at nothing.
kcp- nope, average at best.
cook- nope, was waived even by them and then brought him back.
gasol- nope, amazing player but hes 35 now and at the end of the road.
harrell- nope, good player, different skill set. 26 yrs old
kuzma- verdict still out on this but i would put him 4th behind THT hes also already 25.
mckinnie- nope, never was and never will be
matthews- nope, but a good solid player but hes 34 now.
smith- nope but once was a decent player a decade ago hes 35
schroeder- nope, but i would but him 5th or 6th and hes 27

You’re using future potential and age as a factor when deciding on who is better only factors the skill set and experience today. In that regard, Kuzma, KCP, Matthews, Schroeder are all above him. Preseason 33pts and a LeBron hype quote doesn’t equate to someone being better than every other guy on the team.

Thats your opinion but i dont see at all that kcp,matthews or schroeder are better then him.
you make it sound like he just appeared and scored 33 like a magician.
lots of people knew about him already. his optic silver holos were bringing $30-$40 during the playoffs they werent just $2 cards that turned in to $100 cards over night.
i been following him for a year.
look at his g league stats last december for the south bay lakers.
he had multiple 30+ point games with tons of assists, steals, rebounds.
he is a multi tool player and a great defender. 6'4" huge guard with a 7'1" wingspan.

"In most other ways, though, Horton-Tucker is not your typical 20-year-old. For one thing, he plays for the Lakers, the outlier among outliers when it comes to professional achievements, but even among NBA players, he’s fairly unique. Most 6’4 guards don’t have a seemingly endless (but actually 7’1) wingspan, or hands (9.5 inches long) that rank as the third-largest in the history of the NBA combine."

There's a pretty strong argument at this point.

Add in that Lakers Rookies that get any hype usually take off.

If he can give them more than Kuzma it will steamroll.

His optic holos sold for that for like a week after he came off the bench for 9 points in short minutes one game. Shortly after, and well before the playoffs ended, they were back down to $15 until recently.

I hope he turns out for you, but your opinion is clearly biased as someone who is invested in him. Maybe he ends up being the 3rd best player on the team, but he isn’t this very second.

Add in that Lakers Rookies that get any hype usually take off.

If he can give them more than Kuzma it will steamroll.

Agree. and read my post before this. i dont think it is a coincidence at all.

[mrchipz]

His optic holos sold for that for like a week after he came off the bench for 9 points in short minutes one game. Shortly after, and well before the playoffs ended, they were back down to $15 until recently.

I hope he turns out for you, but your opinion is clearly biased as someone who is invested in him. Maybe he ends up being the 3rd best player on the team, but he isn’t this very second.

To me he is. and to alot of others he is as well. time will tell but i feel confident in saying he is.

also, in "short" minutes like you said he scored 9 points in a playoff game against the rockets.

not biased at all. i missed the part in the past year where i started threads up and hyping up talen horton tucker.

check my post history. i have never hyped him or made a thread about him other then a wtb thread.
so yeah i feel i deserve to come in this thread and talk about him since i seen this before many and never made a thread about him at all. i barely even posted the past year.

If a LeBron quote and one preseason game equate to some random being the best player on a team outside of LeBron and AD then I guess I’m crazy. 99% of the under-the-radar players that do something cool in the preseason don’t turn out that way during the season or any point in the future. I’m sure you know that.

1st off its 2 preseason games.
2nd is this even a preaseason on the shortened season? many teams are playing their starters good minutes to get them ready for the short break between the season.
3rd. he was doing this last year in the g league multiple 30+ point games, was only there cause they didnt have a spot for him.

we both agreed on Giannis all the way back then together, imma need you to team up with me on THT again cause im telling you its gonna happen again.

I realized that I’ve never bought any cards for the players I’ve ever said would be good :doh:

I hope for you guys with big stashes he turns out to be awesome!

My issue is that he’s one of those guys that’s pretty good all around but doesn’t have any stand out skills. He’s not a guy who’s going to break you down off the dribble, he’s not super quick with or without the ball.

We’ll see when the regular season starts

Its not where you start man its where you finish. look at the giannis thread lol. most good players are great at 1 thing and bad at some or avergae at some. to me he is so far good at everything.
couple this with he just turned 20 w eeks ago and the raw potential and talent he has he could be a future great for them. we shall see.
i just like watching him and for the lakers to have a rookie that fans can be excited about for once in the past 20 years.
lakers fans love this kid already. hasnt been this much love for a lakers rookie since kobe.

I have no issue rooting for him to be good. Again, I hope he does well and folks that believed in him are rewarded.

But it’s pretty ridiculous to bring up the old Giannis thread comparing to this guy. Anyone can pull up that thread vs any player being doubted and say “see, look right here. People didn’t believe in Giannis.” I think we all know Giannis is a generational exception in this conversation. Talen Horton Tucker is not going to win any MVPs...

The thread was posted if you look at the 1st 10 pages no one knew he was a generational talent at that point. me and drobfan8 and jscardstore were all in that thread in the 1st 10 pages arguing with people that didnt beleive either. this is when his prizm rookies were $20 still. it took giannis another year or 2 for people to relaize how amazing he was. that is the comparison i am making.

look man i would like to keep the thread about THT and celebrating his success and showing his cards and stuff. not bickering back and fourth like children we are both better then that.
you dont think hes good and i get it.
but lets leave the thread for people that care about him.

[mrchipz]

Post some pics of your stash!

Just mostly have lots of all the basic stuff.
optic, mosaic, all the colors,silvers, contenders autos.
he doesnt have much.
i just posted a pic of some of my revolution cards of my rainbow of his in the revolution showoff thread about an hour ago.

other then that i guess my greatest accomplishment is i own 22 of the 99 contenders foil variation autos of his.

my 3 rarest cards i had of him i traded or sold off a few months ago and regrat it big time now trust me! lol

i had one of the select zebras of him which there are only 13 of and i havent seen another for a while.

i had his select gold prizm #5/10 jersey number that i sold like a dummy a few months back.

i also had his contenders rookie auto ticket stub #3/5 i sold a few months ago like a bigger dummy.

my theory at the time was i can make some money off these now and buy more optic colors as i believe those are his most desirable cards with no prizm rookie card.
wish i didnt do that now in hindsight.

[theleica]

some people just have a better eye for scouting. whether it be in sports and drafting rookies or in card collecting and investing in the right guys when they are cheap.

some of us just see things happen way before others do

I haven't watched THT much yet to make a determination on him. Maybe he is the next huge thing.

For someone that has a good eye for scouting, why would you sell those 3 cards of THT? It doesn't add up to me as something rational to do.

I was thinking more quantity then quality.

for instance i paid $80 for that contenders auto and sold it for $450.
at the time in my mind optic silvers and colors were still cheap, very cheap.
so i thought that the $450 would be better put in to having 30 nice cards of him then 1 really nice card of him.
But now as a collector i miss the cards and would rather have those. low # stuff of his has been pretty impossible to find the past few months and he doesnt have much.
in the end financially it might be the same cause the optics are increasing in value greatly.
but there are always a few dozen collectors with big money that would pay massively for that really rare stuff. thats why i wish i still had those 3 cards.

i still have a lot of rare stuff of him though. a few golds. 2 galactics and other stuff i am holding on to.

This isn’t a player “appreciation” thread or a show-off thread. The purpose appears to be to discuss him in general, so I assume differing perspectives are welcome. And I’m not bickering at all. Simple debate. I’m not saying anything negative about the guy in fact. I’m just saying you can use future potential to discuss present ability and that opinions coming from people invested in him much more than most probably have some bias built in.

If he gets minutes in the season and performs as you claim, then that’s great. I’m all for an unlikely success story. Happy collecting

[mbuch21]

Kid has a great future. But be patient. On this Lakers team with Lebron, AD, Schroeder, Kuzma, Harrell, KCP there is not enough opportunity for him to emerge YET. He probably will get 15-20 minutes a game and won’t even get to handle the ball. So let the current hysteria die down. You’ll get your shot in a few months when he has been forgotten... if you still want it...

Other notes:

1- My understanding is that he doesn’t have a Prizm RC. That is bizarre and creates a bit of a collecting anomaly.

2- If Lebron decides to make him “a thing” then the hysteria won’t die down. But I don’t see this as likely.

3- Remember that his two performances were in pre-season against the Clippers. But Kawhi and PG13 each played 14 minutes in the first game and 18 minutes in the second (not even entirely overlapping with THT). So it is prudent to look for a bigger and better sample of evidence.

4- Nobody has ever seen this kid play. He hasn’t been league scouted or “figured out”. That’s gonna happen quickly now thanks to Lebron’s tweet.

He's likely going to the G-League a 2nd year. He's not going to play any minutes barring injury and/or trades.

The hype will die down quickly.

That's not to say that he will/won't have a good career. Nobody knows the answer to this.

[DajuanWagner]

Okay... maybe it’s me and I’ve been more out of the loop in basketball then I’d care to admit, but whoooo exactly is a Round 2 Pick 42 ,Talen Horton-Tucker? He has next to no stats from the season. Played a minute or two
A game with a .5 stat here and there..
And WHY are his cards blowing up like crazy? Like up there with highest asking price for rookie this year not named Zion or Ja.
I saw an article where Lebron James said he is going to be great, Anthony Davis saying kind words, Lakers organization saying he is going to do big things...... but I mean this Is LA, and of course your vets are gonna pump up the hell out of their young guys talents. Is the card spike prices all do due just these compliments made toward him? I’ll see 10 card optic lots for $150 everywhere. Or is this just the new “craze” dump guy? This one intrigues me




Welcome to Blowout. Let me help you unpack what you are looking for. In 2020, it only takes 1 game for a guy to have his cards priced higher than Hall of Famers. An example is Lonnie Walker. Dude had 1 game where he scored 28 points and his cards went bananas.

Horton Hears a Who (cares) is no different.

InvestorBois are wetting themselves when their penny-stock guy has 1 good game and then, bam, dump-and-run. Take dump money and buy a Luka and, whammo, penny stock turns into Luka.........

He looks really poised and aggressive for a 2nd rounder. I'm cashing out on the few cards I own of him, but this is what's fun about prospecting -- you never know who's gonna take leaps.

I can't imagine anyone was happy pulling Jokic rookies over Jabari or Wiggins at the time. But players like him are certainly exceptions to the rule

Found a pink mosaic and optic. To say the least they are already up in a 3 day auction.

I feel like if you comment in this thread and have an opinion one way or the other...you need to note how many of his cards you have, if are you selling currently, are you buying currently, etc? And what those cards are. Feels like some of this room is pumping/dumping...while others are ???

I could not agree more. We're currently in the process of building a new house, so we sold our old house and are currently living with my mother-in-law. We brought some important stuff with us over here and put the rest in storage. This included my safe with what I thought were my more valuable cards. I suppose I should have planned for something like this happening and put all of my cards towards the front of my storage unit. :doh:

THT is a very impressive 20 year old prospect. He's 6-4 with a 7-1 wing span with "Kawhi" size hands. He attacks the paint, makes his free throws, surprisingly good handles, nice step back jumper, and he actually plays good defense. He'll be a fun prospect to follow.

Two Optic Holos.

I only sell about two or three cards per year, so I'm not looking to pump and dump any cards. I've been hearing "really good things" from Lakers insiders about THT for several months. These are the same insiders that said Lonzo Ball, D'lo, and Julius Randle were going to be good, but they wouldn't be stars. I'm hearing they think the kid has a chance to be special.

I'm a big Donruss Optic fan, so him not having a Prizm card makes his cards more desirable to me. Anyway....

Listed a Fanatics silver wave a little bit ago and went to see if anyone was watching it and I accidentally listed it for $2,500!! Lol. Got rid of a couple of zeros.

[Arianny_Fan]

This guys first game hype reminds me of when Brandon Jennings went for 50, or that Rodney Stuckey kinda hype. If he continues to play hot, maybe even a Jeremy Lin kinda hype feel.

[Arianny_Fan]

imagine if he had a prizm rc

So will this years prizm be listed as his rookie?

I had a couple THT Mosaic base cards that have been living in a box next to Ty Jerome and Tremont Waters...took them out for some nice quick sales!

The surface on the Mosaics were good too. It's funny how it's always the Zion/Ja cards with the dimples and visible print lines.

[RandyC]

but I mean this Is LA, and of course your vets are gonna pump up the hell out of their young guys talents. Is the card spike prices all do due just these compliments made toward him? I’ll see 10 card optic lots for $150 everywhere. Or is this just the new “craze” dump guy? This one intrigues me

I'm a big Lakers fan. I've been hearing rumblings about THT since the middle of last year. The org was so high on him they actually played him meaningful minutes in the playoffs. Lebron - in the past has said some nice things about Lonzo and Ingram's game, but he went pretty silent about them once he actually played with them...I guess it could have been because he wanted them traded. Will THT get enough playing time? If Lebron thinks he's ready, he will absolutely get playing time. Make no mistake about it, Lebron is running things in LA.

THT is also signed with Clutch, so he will given every opportunity under the sun....

Btw - From what I've seen, he's pretty good.

[suknives]

the question begs to be asked, is he the future GOAT?

[abidtsteele]

18 points in 24 min tonight with everyone back (playing reduced minutes). Decent efficiency at 7-11

He MIGHT be a bit of run this year

Y'all sold him too early....just saying.

[The_Reverend]

Y'all sold him too early....just saying.

For a player like him early is relative. He will get plenty of playing time OFF THE BENCH, but getting money in hand before he has reduced minutes can be a positive. Give others the chance to send them in for grading is my thought.

It was fun mapping all my purchases and pulls onto this week's sales.

Pulled:
- Mosaic true silver 2x
- Mosaic "mosaic silver" 1x
- Mosaic hobby red 2x
- Mosaic base 6x
- Optic base 1x

Purchased:
- Optic Choice red/green SSP 1x
- Optic Blue Velocity 3x
- Optic Hyper pink 1x
- Optic base 6x
- Mosaic retail green 1x
- Mosaic base 3x


Given I came out ahead on Mosaic breaks long ago, I was into all of that for exactly $55 cash. All of that sold for $630 on Sunday/Monday. Still have a Mosaic silver incoming which ... who knows, maybe I'll keep it. :)

Been a long time since I had an old-school flip. This was fun.

What gets difficult is with the tweener guys like Coby White or Tyler Herro where they show you enough glimpses that you think there's superstar potential there, the prices start to reflect that, so do you hold or sell and take the short-term gain?

I think for guys like White and Herro, you just hedge, and sell off pieces at different levels. As someone said over the Stock Market thread ... don't try to hit a home run when singles and doubles will do. :)!

Sometimes you get lucky and hit a home run with someone like THT (who is quite literally the only player not named Zion/Ja/Herro I've bought this year) ... but most of the time, we should be over the moon to make 20%+ annual on our "investments".

[cowboyzqna]

Think it's worth sifting through thousands of cards to find his cards? I know there will be nothing crazy since I sold all my color rcs... but I broke a ton of contenders / mosaic / optic / college contenders. Wouldnt be surprised if I had 25 or so. Lots of sorting though.

[mrchipz]

Y'all sold him too early....just saying.

Tried to tell people skys the limit with him.

he doesnt have that many rookie cards made hes not in a lot of products.
no true prizm rc.
no rpa at all, no patch autos.
only 1 card in nt, only a handful on true on card autos, optic and contenders and i think noir.
i have over 1000 of his cards.
my goal is to sell enough to recoup everything i put in to him which ive almost done and then hold the rest.
in a year or 2 i would not be surprised if he blows up and his optic base rookies are selling for $100 +

he just turned 20 years old 2 weeks ago. imagine what he will look like in another year under lebrons leadership

He looks legit but will he get enough playing time this year...hard to know...

Nice that he has less rookies than other players from this class.
Feel good for buying all these contenders autos of supposed scrubs.

Just went through my Fanatics Optic box and found 13 Silver Wave and 1 Green Wave. Sadly, pretty sure I sold a couple Green Waves already for like $3 each. Will have to look through my regular Optic boxes soon.

[Trout Fan]

The kid is definitely legitimate. He is polished, mature,
and very skilled. You should listen to some other of these
geeks on other sites calling him a bum and blah blah.
He is going to be a big asset to the Lakers and will contribute.
Outside shot looks better then I thought and he gets to the rim
very well. Going to be the surprise of the year.

Yes, minus the ones I sent to COMC and sold this summer.

I searched my email inbox to see COMC sales notifications (I like to do this, for torture) and learned that along with the five THT silvers I’d already sold, I had also pulled (and sold) 3 more Greens in my 18 boxes.

It's one thing to spend a little, I think I spent like $25 on a handful of cards, but I can't imagine dropping thousands, he still has time but I don't think it'll pan out in LA.

[Mahomie]

I haven't invested any money on THT (only have a few pack-pulled bass cards), but his story hasn't been written yet. Far too early to dismiss him.

In the short term, both AC and KCP are out with health/injury issues, so he should get some run these next couple of games.

Last 2 averaging: 26.5 pts & 9 boards.

He's only 20 and it wasn't just Bron hyping him up.

Regardless, worth a bump after tonight.

So glad somebody bumped this thread cause i spent a lot of time in the beginning of it trying to tell people about him and go back and see how many people thought he was a nobody and would go back to the g league. lol

Dude is absolutely balling past 3 games since he came back and hes shooting almost 50% with a perfect 100% from the free throw line as well and his 3pt shot has improved greatly.

People dont even realize this is his 3rd season and he is STILL only 20 years old!!!

He already has a championship and is younger then most of the rookies drafted this year and last year.

Before the big peak in the entire card market happened last year and his prices rose as well i sold off about $15,000 worth of his cards as i had over 1000 of his rookies.

That paid for my entire amount spent and still left me with over 400 cards of his and plenty of big cards i still have and i am glad i kept them.

I really have been high on this guy for a while on here im glad he is showing fans and people that he can be an all star caliber player like i thought he could be when i watched him in the g league.



His 1st 3 games of the season have been outstanding and it has been against GOOD teams. he went off against the Bulls and the Bucks 2 of the best teams in the east.

And hes still only 20 years old in his 3rd season....

Yep, thought he had "it" in a game against my Longhorns a couple years ago but really started paying attention when Bron, Kawhi and co. started talking him up. Those types of guys don't really ever heap that sort of collective hype on a kid trying to just make the roster (as he was after the bubble). Happy to see him enjoying a nice stretch of leading a team - that experience, his talent and his work ethic should make him a valuable piece for years to come.

Definitely possible, although I heard some encouraging words from Vogel yesterday:

“He’s gonna be a big part of what we do, we know that,” Vogel said. “We invested in him this summer for a reason: We’ve got a strong belief in that young man and what he can do on both sides of the ball. And obviously when we get whole, we’ve got a lot of good choices, but he’s going to be a big part of it.”

people thought he was a nobody

I've just come to expect (and accept) all of the odd takes on BO. People will actively root against a player/team, just in hopes that an internet stranger will lose money :doh:

Mind you not to the degree which you did but irrespective, I took a lot of flack from various discord members. Who’s laughing now. THT has length, athleticism, and skill. He is the real deal.

[Shaz]

Surprisingly not a lot of people have spoken about his defence - he is an absolute nightmare on that end of the floor.

He is also learning to be a floor general which he has picked up from Lebron.

Still only 20 years old.

[mrchipz]

No he does not have a prizm rc.

That is another thing from a card perspective that makes him more special and valuable.

He doesnt have that many rookie cards, was left out of a lot of products.

No true prizm rookie card, so i think optic is his best base rookie followed by revolution.

No patch auto RPA's.

Only about 3 true on card auto rookie cards, optic, contenders and noir i believe as well as nt so 4.

When it comes to his cards its slim pickings.

not many high end rare #ed rookies.

as far as i know he only has ONE 2nd year card that prizm fast break auto and im not aware of him even having a 3rd year card in this years product right now.

So not many cards of his.

[gopowergoh]

Does he have a Prizm RC or just Optic? I can't find it anywhere

The only prizm rc he has is the sensational signatures. I posted the gold higher up

[Shaz]

Would it be a crazy statement to say THT run the point (with lebron out) and have Russ step into the shooting guard or even small forward role (depending on the line up)?

To be fair, I don't think he fades away when Bron comes back. I was unloading a fairly big THT and didn't want to do the ultra-pump thing. I think THT is the real deal. He's still VERY young with a high hoops IQ, on the right team with the right mentors and is absolutely a player capable of running his own team for a decent stretch right now. He'll be a beast in 2-3 years.

True. I wouldn't be surprised... But the mishandling of THT by the Lakers is like a case study of how to not manage/develop a prospect. Just an endless series of blunders

They also picked him over Caruso (could've kept both if not for Jeanie's LT paranoia), and basically ended up with 34 year old Beverley in an attempt to cover up their blunders.

[SupermanBrandon]

The Lakers sold their soul for a Mickey Mouse ring w/ Lebron. It will take them years, after he leaves to recover. Hope it was worth it. They are complete joke now.

[jcardstore]

He was a late 2nd round pick and if you only could see what the investorbois and laker homers post here you would think he was a lottery pick.

Dude has managed to get worse each of his 3 seasons despite playing more each year, and having the luxury of playing with LeBron and AD. But yea, totally the Lakers fault that he's not good :cry:

Yeah, THT over Caruso was a costly Lakers monumental misstep in the LBJ era.


and not sure how valid those untouchable rumors were during the trade deadline but the FO definitely overplayed their hands with the THT situation. They also tried to make him something he’s not (3 and D player) He was at his best when he had the ball and was slashing/attacking the rim but he’ll never have that opportunity with the Lakers.

Pages and pages of pumping for guys like this and Sekou and it’s crickets for guys like Jokic/Giannis (lately)/Embiid…guys who are making all nba teams and MVP awards in some cases…but nobody wants to discuss them because anyone that got in early has sold out by now and they want to move onto the next guy who has a 40 point game in preseason or signs with klutch and has dirt cheap prizm cards they can stash up on.

And these threads always die when the pumpers find their bait. I really wish the masses weren’t so gullible and stupid.

Dropped 37 points 8 rebounds and 10 assists just less then 3 weeks ago with multiple 8+ assist games and 20+ point games.

Tonight he dropped 41 points 4 rebounds 5 assists .

Like i said way back in this thread the lakers would regret the trade, He just needed a chance to play HIS game and have a shot to have the ball in his hands.

STILL only 22 years old......

Still loving my pc of him and admire him taking a starter roll in a new position and shining.

He dropped 41 and 37 against the Spurs (worst team in the league) and the Hornets (4th worst) let’s celebrate :cry: the jazz won by 11 and he was only +2. Imagine scoring 41 points and the team being better when you’re off the floor :coffee:

No mention of the other 80% of games where he shoots 30% from the floor with 5 TOs. He has one of the worst points per shot attempt in the NBA but hey, who cares as long as he drops 40 against a g league team once per season

i wanted to love laker THT but he was just to inconsistent. he has the skill set to be a solid player and has flashes but he just cant do it night in and night out.

I'm going to throw a disclaimer that I bought a few THT autos the other night. I mean why not?

but your post is real eye opening. We are truly living in the day and age of bottomless scoring. and zero defense. Like every scoring achievement this season should be adjusted down by like 25% when comparing to players achievements from past seasons.

And of course he didn't respond to your post. As a fellow THT pumper I apologize.
