For the non-superstars on the Lakers roster, Wednesday’s preseason game against the Wolves was a bit of a slog. Shots weren’t going in, and there was a real-time feeling-out process as Darvin Ham tried out a new rotation and more guard-heavy lineups that left most players out of rhythm.
Most players, but not Lonnie Walker IV.
In his third round of exhibition action, Walker was at his finest. He had the advantage of playing alongside the team’s stars in the starting lineup, and he made the most of that opportunity to the tune of 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting in 19 minutes.
