While the Lakers are struggling, the former Laker's performance they should regret

The Los Angeles Lakers' offseason generated significant hype, but as the season unfolds, it becomes evident that the departure of certain players has left a void. Two players, Dennis Schröder and Lonnie Walker, stand out in this context.

Schröder's move to the Toronto Raptors, signing a lucrative two-year, $26 million deal, has garnered attention, particularly with point guard Gabe Vincent's limited impact due to injuries. Fans are expressing a desire for the German player to make a return, especially considering the challenges the team has faced without a consistent presence in the point guard position.

However, it's Lonnie Walker IV who seems to be the player the Lakers truly miss. Despite not receiving ample opportunities under Coach Darvin Ham, Walker showcased his prowess with the Brooklyn Nets in a recent game. Playing 28 minutes, he scored 21 points with an impressive 8/16 FG, 3/7 from 3, and a +10 in the plus/minus, contributing significantly to his team's victory.

Meanwhile, the Lakers struggled with scoring, particularly from beyond the arc, in their recent game against the Rockets. The performance has left fans questioning the decision to let Walker go, especially considering the impact he could have made in Lakers' recent challenges.

Austin Reaves had a forgettable night against Houston

In contrast to Lonnie Walker's impressive performance on Wednesday night, Austin Reaves had a forgettable game. Despite playing for 26 minutes, Reaves only managed to score 7 points, contribute 4 assists, record 2 blocks, and struggled with a 2/9 FG shooting performance.
