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.
\n2 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.
\nNote I didn't say BETTER. I said more DOMINANT. This team is blowing out everybody.
\nThey faced #2 (in Chicago region) Curie who's only in-state loss was against Simeon in December.
\nCurie 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).
\nBroadcast 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).
\nAll season, Simeon has been led by Talen Horton-Tucker, an underrated Iowa State commit. Now people are waking up!
\nTHT 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. Xavier Pinson scored 11.
\nCurie was led by junior guard Marquise Walker (19 points) and Maurice Commander (16 points).
\nWait 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.
\nCheck out these raw highlights from Chicago Simeon's soldout game versus Chicago Curie!
