Utah Jazz guard Talen Horton-Tucker sat down with Tribune Jazz writer Andy Larsen to talk about his early season start and why he thinks fans should believe in his improvement.

Here are some of my favorite out of touch quotes from THT in this article that worry me on his potential growth.

“I know I take shots sometimes that are like, different.” (Understatement of the century)

“I’ve always been an unselfish player, I’m never out there just trying to score for myself” (Really? Because there’s lots of evidence of you making a couple of shots and then thinking you’re prime Kobe)

“Every shot I shoot, is something I practice.” (Well…. that’s concerning)

“I don’t want to take any shot out of my game.” (Even the contested, midrange, turnaround fadeaway 180?)

A career 28% 3 point shooter on his 3 point shooting “I want to get my volume up”

“I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes shooting the ball too much.” (After going 6/20 2 games ago and tying for the most shots attempted)

    I actually don’t mind watching THT off the bench. I just don’t enjoy watching him get as many minutes as he’s getting. He’s just sloppy, but when he’s on, he’s on. It just feels like we threw the baby out with the bath water on this rebuild. We have too many guys that need developing.
