The issue is, I don't think that happens with Murray, DeRozan, Aldridge and especially Gay as the rest of the unit. There were stretches of the game where Walker barely shot. Some of that was definitely a matter of aggression. But a good deal was guys like LMA, Gay and Murray shooting quick shots. To some extent, you just have to accept quick looks if you want to increase the pace. But Pop has to earn his money by calling plays to get Lonnie looks and by staying in his ear making him take them. I see Walker as the clear third option behind LMA and DMDR going forward. If he's not getting Eric Gordon levels of touches, it's not going to work. That unlike those other two he can shoot the three well just makes it more important that he get a lot of manufactured attempts until his acclimates to knowing when he's supposed to step up.
Also, the team could use his penetration and kicking. He showed that once tonight, but his potential in that end is why I wanted the Spurs to draft him so badly in 2018. It's like Kira Lewis but with more size and less experience.
