What are your opinions on him?I really like Luke's game. He isn't too talented or athletic, but he is a very smart player. He plays within the system, and he is an extraordinary passer for a Forward. He has made some unbelievable passes (and if you dont believe me,watch thisHe is a great playmaker, and I think he can be a good role player in the future.
Yea I love Luke's game,there are alot of Luke haters but I am not one of them.The guy is getting better and better every year.He played pretty great in the playoffs against the suns too.Phil Jackson has trust in him and plays him all the time.Last season he was hurt for the first half of the season but he came back motivated and played well.He always makes crisp passes and can finish plays.Walton is also a big part of the Lakers, espcecially for the Fans. Every Lakers game you go to or watch the crowd yells LUKE! gotta love it. One of the Lakers games I went to in the 04-05 season against Seattle,kobe was injured and didn't play but Walton played amazing and got a carear high even though they lost...Not to mention that he is Bill Walton's son which is awesome.
He's proved he can play at the NBA level each year because of how much he improves over the offseason. He's improved alot also because over the course of 3 seasons, he's had so many different coaches. PJ, then Rudy-T then Frank Hamblem, then PJ again. He's a good passer, and a smart player like CB4 said. I like his game a lot, I don't understand why Laker fans don't appreciate such a valuable bench player like Luke Walton.
I truely think that if he could have, Shaq would have taken Luke Walton to Miami.NBA Finals Game 2 press conference verse Pistons...Qestion: You've praised Luke Walton great all season. Talk about his performance tonight? O'Neal: He's a great guy, rookie. It amazes me how he can give me the ball and guys(Hey, Kobe, that's you.)that have been playing with me four, five, six years can't give me the ball. (Laughter). Great guy. He got it about six, seven times to me. He's going to be a great player, a great player.

Shaq's Insomnia is a joke.
LUUUUUKE!He's really smart, and is an average ball handler. He really needs a more consistent shot.Not the fastest but manages to defend somewhat decent. He even said himself the only reason he's in the leauge is because of phil jackson and the triangle offense.
What? Luke is a very poor defender. He has no athleticism or quickness, and he is just a bad defender..
Hahaha you must be smoking crack CB4.. no athletiscm or quickness...lol, please just watch the Raptors if youre gonna say dumb things like that.the only thing you know about the Lakers is how Kobe owned the entire Raptors by scoring 81 points.
Wow, Im just speaking the truth. Luke isnt quick, nor is he atletic. Say something productive instead of just making yourself look like an ass.
I did say something productive. Don't call me an ass when you made yourself look like an ass by saying Luke is not athletic or quick.Watch a few Laker games anytime you can... Lol
Luke is a good passer. and you are wrong about his shot it stank because he had no confidence this season i saw him get it back he shoots it well now. nice form and everything hell, i seen him swish a buzzer beating three. his offensive game bloomed this year.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CB4AllStar @ Jul 24 2006, 06:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>He plays Small Forward smart guy </div>He said he WOULD BE. He didn't say he was,and Phil Jackson actually mentioned before last season that Walton being their point guard was a possibilty,this never happend because shortly after he got injured and Smush became the new point guard with Lamar Odom playing the point on occasion.
No, Walton is quick and athletic. Are your TVs too slow to notice?He has a great athletic ability which allows him to make good passes. He may not be extremely athletic but he is quick.Cb4 I am not a dumbass like you, I know which position Walton plays.CB4 is never right.

BCB, unlike you I watch the games and judge a player from what I see. I don't look at what sites say, ESPECIALLY from NBADraft.net, of all websites.Luke is pretty quick.CB4, like I said the entire time, watch a Laker game. I don't have to MAKE myself look smart, I am smart. You on the other hand have to make yourself look smart on a forum filled with strangers and then justify to others why you suposedly claim to have a "139" IQ.
