Ham and the reason he keeps giving Nunn playing minutes when he's awful

It seems that the Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn had a one-hit wonder of a performance on Friday's night game vs. the Hawks, as coach Ham decided to give him significant minutes tonight against Sacramento.

But Nunn has his usual performance this night; so far, he has scored only two points and has a turnover that has hurt the team. Nunn has been terrible all season long after coming back from an injury.

All training camp and preseason, coach Ham and Nunn's teammates hyped him up, but he has been a major disappointment, and just when things looked like he was starting to be better, he returned to give a poor performance.

Even when Nunn has been terrible, there is a reason coach Ham keeps insisting on giving him significant minutes on the court, which is to raise his value so the Laker's front office can make a good trade out of him.

Lakers turnovers keep hurting the team

One of the weakest points of coach Ham's team is the number of turnovers they keep having, as they failed to score essential points that give them the edge in the game. At half-time, the Lakers and the Kings are tied.
