Where is Luke Walton?

Remember Luke Walton? He was only the Lakers starting small forward two seasons ago. The Lakers seen such a bright future in Luke that they gave him a 6 year, 30 million dollar contract.

I know the Lakers are a deep team, probably one of the deepest in the NBA but Luke is only averaging 3.7 minutes per game through the first 8 games of the season. Last season Luke averaged a little over 23 minutes per game and averaged 7.2 points per game.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson said "Luke is the one guy I worry about a little bit because he's going to have to stay in shape without playing himself into shape by practicing himself there, because there are minutes that could be available".

Hopefully Luke will get a little more playing time, he is a great role player. I really think he will find his way into the rotation soon.
