The Lakers paid a high price to acquire Walker Kessler from Utah, but they’re confident that he’ll be able to justify the cost of the deal, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac. Those two things not only help our defense, but it can help trigger our offense too. This year, Walker should help get the ball and get us out and running. On offense, he’s better than people realize. He’ll be excellent in the screen game for Luka (Doncic), Austin (Reaves), Collin (Sexton) and Quentin (Grimes).”
