Talen Horton-Tucker Does Everything! Jabari Parker Watches Most DOMINANT Simeon Team Ever!

Talen Horton-Tucker has been overlooked his entire career. He started his sophomore season at Simeon on JV and wasn't even in the team photo. He was never ranked by national scouting services.
2 years later he's leading what Simeon's coach Rob Smith is calling the most dominant Simeon team EVER, including those featuring future NBA MVP Derrick Rose or NBA vet Jabari Parker.
Note I didn't say BETTER. I said more DOMINANT. This team is blowing out everybody.
They faced #2 (in Chicago region) Curie who's only in-state loss was against Simeon in December.
Curie put up a fight but Chicago's top team Simeon cruised to an 80-63 win before a soldout home crowd (it's first of the season).
Broadcast live on Twitter via Gatorade, Baron Davis and Rachel Demita were on hand as well as Bucks' Jabari Parker (famous Simeon alum and 4-time Illinois state champ).
All season, Simeon has been led by Talen Horton-Tucker, an underrated Iowa State commit. Now people are waking up!
THT finished with 25 points, 7 rebounds, 5 blocks. Drake commit Messiah Jones added 16 points, 10 rebounds for Simeon. Simeon junior Kejuan Clements (PG) scored 11.
Curie was led by junior guard Marquise Walker (19 points) and Maurice Commander (16 points).
Wait for the postgame comments from Simeon Coach Robert Smith about this team compared with Derrick Rose's Simeon teams as well as comments about Talen. Then players Talen Horton-Tucker and Kejuan Clements comment on the game.
Check out these raw highlights from Chicago Simeon's soldout game versus Chicago Curie!

[@johnwhite5538]

This kid Talen is the best player Ive seen in High School this year. There no way he's not on McDonald roster. This kid can go one or two ways and still be good, he can lose that baby fat,and tone up and play the two. Or he go the Charles Barkley route,the boy is a BALLER bottom line. The way he can drive and get his shot off by flipping it up there on reverses. He's only going to get better, plus he has that Chicago toughness, two years of that college life and it's on,he's like that kid at Michigan State.Miles Bridges but a better upside Imo

The summer before talen’s senior year team rose played bradley beal elite in st charles(25 minutes from stl mo) at lindenwood. First time i ever saw him play and while he was way more fat then he is now in the nba mane he gave stl the blues💀 reverse lays, stepbacks, all the above he was killing. Prolly had a light 35 points

[@Patawon]

He’s built like a young Charles Barkley

[@UNCbasketball610]

Might be a reach and only thinking about this guy because the Iowa State connection, but TH-T reminds me a lot of Royce White. Royce was a little bigger at 6'7" but play the game a similar way to me. Who's is TH-T's best comp?

[@pj123mj1]

UNCbasketball610 what do you mean by best comp?

[@301.allday]

pj123mj1 Comparison

[@bbking7800]

Interesting comp. He doesn't comp well with current era players. He's more of a throwback 80's-90's type of 3-4 combo guy (ie.Larry Johnson). Honestly, his body type is more like a Barkley type. 6'5-6'6 with long arms. A year or so into a good college weight program and continued development of his shot will make him a very nice inside/outside college player. Iowa State will be a top 10-15 program in two years and this kid will be one of the reasons why. I think he will have a very nice college career.

The same school that produce Ben Wilson, Nick Anderson, Kendrick Nunn, Jabari Parker and etc. This is just one HS in Chicago. The City HS produce or has produced alot of NBA and college players since the 60's.

[@daninspiration4064]

Lebron probably told him don't play too good in college so he can go low enough for the Lakers to pick him

[@obey2dmax]

Iowa State didn't used THT's strengths so his stock dropped. Lakers/ Rob Pelinka and his staff had the knack of unleashing potentials and turning them into a reality.

Neither team knows how to play defense. Just awful. It's almost like they think making steals and blocking shots is all that matters on defense.

[@celeryhead2225]

I hope Talen stays in school for all 4 years because he will not have a successful NBA career. Dude just doesn’t have the body. He will be a solid player in college though

[@ashleymcintosh303]

Paul Pierce ain't have the body, no such thing ...

[@chris_swank9160]

lawrence terry he just did a between the legs dunk in warmups and he’s not athletic? Where is your logic.

[@celeryhead2225]

Ashley McIntosh ummmmm he will never be as good as Paul Pierce. Paul Pierce had a MUCH quicker first step.

[@celeryhead2225]

Guys........ I have watched this guy play a couple a times in person. VERY good player BUT he uses his size and strength to get to the rim most of the time. It will work a little in college but not in the NBA. They will be just as big as him if not bigger in the NBA. Not to mention he is not nearly quick enough

[@justinshinzen1460]

He has years for improvement y'all acting like he going to the nba tomorrow
