Luke Walton discusses the benefits of having multiple playmakers
The Los Angeles Lakers have quite a few playmakers on the roster - LeBron James, Lonzo Ball, and Rajon Rondo to name a few. The way head coach Luke Walton sees it, having an abundance of playmakers at his disposal is nothing short of a good thing.
"They're all going to benefit from it," Walton said after practice on Wednesday. "Everyone is going to be able to get easier looks because we have multiple, not just ball-handlers, but playmakers... everyone is going to benefit from it."

While it might not happen right away, Walton thinks that the Lakers can ultimately develop into a legitimate championship contender by the time the postseason rolls around.
“September, probably not," Walton said of seeing the Lakers as true contenders, via Lakers Nation. "Do I think come April, come playoff months? Absolutely I think we are. It takes time. You never just put a team together and they’re instantly a championship contender. That’s what the regular season is going to be all about this year. That’s what these guys coming in every day, playing together, getting to know each other, lifting weights together, is about. I think by the time the season comes and goes and we get towards the playoffs, if all goes the way we plan, then yeah, I truly believe we are.”
