The Phoenix Suns took Ty Jerome with this pick in real life. However, with him off the board, they choose to go with Talen Horton-Tucker in this 2019 NBA re-draft.
Jerome played super well last season on the Oklahoma City Thunder but didn’t do much in his time with the Suns. In reality, he just never got the chance to live up to his potential.
Horton-Tucker just earned a huge contract with the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason. He has shown some serious potential as a dynamic NBA player and can be effective on both ends of the floor.
The one area where he has really struggled has been from behind the three-point line. If he can get better in that regard, then he’ll be absolutely golden.
He would provide some solid wing depth for the Suns off the bench. Horton-Tucker jumps up a ton of spots in this re-draft as Phoenix picks him up at twenty-four.
