He really is like a Jason Kidd style player. Not on the passing level but just his cadence and the way he moves. Has a swish like Reggie Miller.

He had a good game, but the Lakers took the game from them and now it's going to get tough because the word is getting out that the Lakers won't be an easy game
Booker is a monster, but Laker fans should be excitied. Walton has this team playing well, despite limited contributions from their most talented player (Ingram).
I just hope for the sake of the franchise he does not put winning today ahead of development. I have noticed Russell and Ingram's minute totals have been pretty low. IMO, Russell should be playing minutes in the mid 30s and Ingram should be in the mid to high 20s.
Thanks coach!
Why risk a player getting injured when the team has the lead, and not only that, they have enough talented players for guys like Russell, Randle and Ingram to get enough rest?
It is not about rest. THese guys are 20 years old. THey don't need rest.
Russell is averaging 27 minutes and Ingram only 19.
CLarkson and young are both averaging 27 minutes. LOu Williams and Deng are 23 and 24.
The future of the franchise depends on the young studs. PLayers need court time to develop. Deng might get you a few wins today, burn his minutes should not come at Ingram's expense.
Russell leads the team in scoring and assists. How does playing him less minutes indicate Luke is trying to win now rather than develop players?It is not about rest. THese guys are 20 years old. THey don't need rest.

Your guess is as good as mine. I just thought your initial observation was a bit odd.Why isn't he playing more than Young and Clarkson if he leads the team in scoring and assists?
Because Luke tends to get too set on his rotations at times. He has faith in our bench rotations(which is good), and he trusts them to play at critical points in the gameWhy isn't he playing more than Young and Clarkson if he leads the team in scoring and assists?
He has limited opportunities because everyone is playing so well. He plays the point forward role well, and he's in the lineups that close games for us, but the whole team(even Nick freakin young) are playing such team ball to where we never get in a situation to where we NEED Ingram to carry the loadYour guess is as good as mine. I just thought your initial observation was a bit odd.
With Russell, it could be defense, it could be that although he's been productive, he hasn't shot particularly well. Maybe Walton wants him to earn more minutes? No idea how Luke actually coaches young players yet.
In Ingram 's case, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't quite have an NBA body yet. Maybe Walton is easing him into minutes slowly, and giving him time to adjust to the rigors?
Regardless of what it is, living out here in Cali I get the sense that Luke is under ZERO pressure to win now, and I doubt that he'd do anything to slow the development of his future with the organization .He has limited opportunities because everyone is playing so well.

Oh you're right on both....but to make an example, it's not like last year when Byron Scott was being stubborn with Russ. Luke is giving him minutes, but the team as a whole is playing so well within the system to where Ingram may not have a chance to take a bunch of shots every gameRegardless of what it is, living out here in Cali I get the sense that Luke is under ZERO pressure to win now, and I doubt that he'd do anything to slow the development of his future with the organization .
