Damn, so his great-grandfather was the original Lonnie Walker? His name possibly dates back to the late 1800s.
So many stupid posters seeing a 20yo guy and thinking that's a finished product or anywhere close to his ceiling... Have theimy never watched a player develop? It's obviously not these posters' first time watching basketball, so you have to wonder if there's neurological factors involved.
Also tragic how defense flies under the radar nowadays. I haven't seen anyone talking about Walker's very good man-to-man defense and closeouts, he's still getting lost while playing zone and should stick to his man (this is a fault of Pop's outdated defensive scheme mostly, though) but he's got a lot of potential there. A trio of White-Dejounte-Lonnie in a year or two is the pinnacle of modern NBA switching and length. Add in Poeltl's rim protection and a solid 4 (hopefully FA) and the defense could be deadly, if Pop stepped down and we got a new coach who is up to speed on the modern game.

IV can relate to this, no doubt.
