Luke Walton thinks Julius Randle and D'Angelo Russell can be All-Stars

The Los Angeles Lakers have some young talent, but after the worst three-year period in the history of the team, they need to continue to rebuild. On Friday night they chose Golden State Warriors assistant coach Luke Walton as the man to lead that rebuilding effort, and he is reportedly excited about the direction of the team.

Ramona Shelburne of ESPN reports that "Walton believes that lottery picks D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle have the talent to be future All-Stars," and it sounds like the Lakers new head coach got the job in part because he is "high on the Lakers' young talent," according to Kevin Ding of Bleacher Report.
