Since taking on the Los Angeles Lakers‘ head coaching position, Luke Walton has already brought a lot of changes to the team. From offensive and defensive sets to changing the starters, he has truly made his presence felt.
One of the players who saw his role in the team change after Walton's arrival is third-year guard Jordan Clarkson, who now comes off the bench. However, even with his sixth-man role, he has respected the decision of the 36-year-old bench tactician and is taking it professionally and only has the Lakers' best interest in mind.
He even spoke recently about taking on whatever position his coach tells him to play even if it's not his natural one.
In latest edition of #LakersLoveLuke, Clarkson not only embraces bench role but said "if I (had) to play center I would have did it for him”

This is certainly good news to the Los Angeles faithful as their players have showed their love and respect for their young head coach.
Not only have they exceeded the expectations of many with their 9-9 record to start the season, but they are also showing that they are going to be the one of the NBA's teams of the future.
