Taurean Prince Contract

Taurean Prince is an American small forward who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. Standing at a height of 6 feet 6 inches, Prince primarily operates as a 3-and-D wing player.

Born on March 22, 1994, in San Marcos, Texas, Taurean Prince's basketball journey began at Earl Warren High School in San Antonio, Texas, under the guidance of head coach Jim Weaver. Back then, Prince was not a highly touted prospect as he did not receive recognition from any scouting reports, but he did guide his high school team to the state semifinals during his senior year.

In 2012, Prince got an opportunity to play for the Baylor University’s Bears basketball team where he received limited playing time in his first couple of seasons as prospects for a professional basketball career in the NBA seem uncertain. However, in his third season, Prince made a massive leap in terms of his gameplay as he earned the Big 12 Sixth Man of the year Award and garnered all-conference honors.

By his fourth season at Baylor, Prince emerged as a lottery prospect for the 2016 NBA Draft. On June 23, 2016, Prince was selected by the Utah Jazz with the 12th overall pick, but his rights were subsequently traded to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal involving the Indiana Pacers and featuring players like George Hill and Jeff Teague.

Since entering the NBA, Prince has established himself as an elite two-way 3-and-D wing player, known for his defensive prowess and reliable outside shooting. In 2019, he signed a significant two-year, $29 million contract extension with the Brooklyn Nets, the biggest contract in his career. However, his tenure with the Nets was marred by injuries.

In early 2021, Prince became part of the blockbuster "James Harden Trade" to the Brooklyn Nets. Then, after a two-year stint with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Prince joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 2023, where he found his niche under coach Darwin Ham, who had previously worked with Prince as an assistant coach with the Hawks. Coach Ham values Prince's consistent three-point shooting and contributions to the Lakers success.
