Making the Case: Los Angeles Lakers
Kevin Huerter has been in the league for four years and has remained consistent. Over the last three years, he has averaged at least 11.9 points per game for an Atlanta Hawks team that likes to score from the perimeter.
Now, he would be able to move to a team where he can produce in the same way.
In his four-year career, Huerter has shot 37.9% from the three-point line. The Lakers ranked 22nd in the league in this area shooting 34.7% from deep. This is an area where the team needs to improve and the fit would be perfect. Huerter would bring more depth off the bench as well.
The pieces that the Lakers have can give them a productive player for years to come. At 23 years old, Huerter can be just that. Horton-Tucker has been featured in trade talks and it all depends on whether or not the Lakers see him as a future piece. If Huerter might be that player, this deal should be made.

The fit for Huerter in Los Angeles is a good one for his ability on both ends of the floor. He can heat up and give the Lakers good minutes in the middle of games. This is what the Lakers need to be looking for after what was a disastrous season.
