LOS ANGELES — One of the first challenges most assume a coach has to consider is whether or not to stagger their rotations, and how much to do so. Not so for the Lakers, whose first year head coach is figuring things out as he goes.
"Everything has been trial and error since we've been here," said Lakers head coach Luke Walton. "We didn't know who was going to play well together, who wasn't."
One of the trials that has been working so far is the Lakers' weirdo bench lineup of Lou Williams, Jordan Clarkson, Brandon Ingram, Tarik Black, and Larry Nance, Jr.
