    walton is injured the past few weeks, back surgery...I think Phil will keep Odom on the bench, he doesnt like changing rotations in the regular season. Maybe Josh Powell, or he could push Kobe up to SF and put Farmar or Shannon in....lots of options

    Phil doesnt believe in labeling players a certain position.

    ...and he has a surprising outside shot for his size

    Probably Shannon at 2 and Kobe at 3...

    Fuck man, we really need Luke to get back. I wonder how much longer he will be out for.

    Anyways, weird ass story. But seeing that it's Ron Artest, I'm not surprised. I can't wait for him to talk to the media about how this happened, should be interesting. lol

    i dont necessarily believe in that either, just thought he was a big and couldnt guard sf's.

    didnt know that though, i have him in a sim league as my 15th man or so.

    Which is exactly what the 2nd unit needs...They are taking harder shots...Luke can get people the ball in optimal scoring positions

    Luke is underrated and his value is being shown with him out.

    Without Luke, the second unit doesn't run an offense at all. I thought LO was supposed to help with facilitating but he hasn't done jack this year. The offense has been stagnant and guys are just jacking up shots. At least with Walton in the lineup, he can instill some sense into the offense. He is also one of the only guys who on the roster, besides Kobe and maybe Ron, who is actually capable of passing and getting the ball down low to our bigs. So yes, in that sense he is missed.

    Scoring wise, he doesn't provide much. But his FG% so far this year is 42%, but he's shooting 63% from beyond the arc, which certainly counts for something. And either way, I rather see Luke out there playing rather than Sasha or Morrison.

    I hope he gets well soon.

    Luke gave us good minutes and leadership as a role player last year. I don't judge him as a starter. For a guy getting 10-15 minutes a night he's adequate.
