He may not be a big scorer, but he usually plays smart and is very active in the paint, and this may lead to more rebounds for the Lakers and more fouls on Yao.
. God that's funny. Really how is this newsworthy? Thats like saying Adam Morrison will attempt to do nothing and just watch from the bench.
A healthy Walton can actually help the Lakers a lot. He hustles, defends well and can compete against the Rockets brand of ugly ball. He'll give their struggling bench a boost.
