LeBron James had nothing but good words to say about his teammate in the Los Angeles Lakers Talen Horton-Tucker.

James praised Horton-Tucker for his preseason performance so far and said the young guard ‘hasn’t even scratched the surface of what he can be’.

“He hasn’t even scratched the surface of what he can be, but the kid can play basketball,” James told reporters about Horton-Tucker, via Lakers Daily.

Horton-Tucker had 33 points (11/17 shooting), 10 rebounds, four assists and four steals in the 131-106 victory over the Clippers on Sunday.
