    Nice to have Luke back. Too bad we won't be seeing a full healthy squad any time soon.

    Luke has improved so much since last year.

    I dont think so.

    Its just that watching Morrison play reminds us how much we miss Walton.

    I don't know... It looks like he's at least scoring some points this year. He scored 4 points last night. Fish only scored 3...

    Luke has always been pretty effective in the paint. His shot is suspect, but he has always found a way to score sneaky little baskets.

    But lets be honest, Luke's ability to make an entry pass is his most valuable assest to our bench. It seems like no one else on the 2nd unit can get the ball to Bynum.

    Spot on. This is Luke's biggest contribution to the team. He's a fantastic entry passer into Bynum and is the only player willing to pass the ball into Bynum on a re-post.

    Besides Kobe and occasionally Ron Ron, Luke is the only guy who can get the ball down low to our bigs. That's why he's so valuable, since our PGs, Fish and Farmar just chuck up shots all game.
