SANTA BARBARA — The personalities seem different between Luke Walton’s laid-back demeanor and Byron Scott’s stern approach. The blaring music symbolized Walton’s want to create a fun training camp atmosphere, while the trash cans placed around the court represented Scott’s belief in accountability for a poorly conditioned player.
Despite those stylistic differences, the current and the former Lakers coach can at least agree on one thing. Both Walton and Scott agree on what they think of backup point guard Marcelo Huertas. Scott often considered Huertas “the Catalyst” last season in the Lakers’ comeback efforts at least to avoid another loss in double-digit margins.
