Guard Lonnie Walker IV was one of the free agent signings the Los Angeles Lakers made last summer, and at first, some thought it was an underwhelming one.
They used their mid-level exception to sign him to a one-year, $6.5 million deal, and given his inconsistent play in his first four seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, fans seemed divided on whether he was a good signing.
Walker certainly turned out to be a good signing. He showed growth this season with his offensive game. Even better, he sported a positive attitude that allowed him to deal with the changes in his role with the team.
