Luke Walton is a small forward for the Los Angeles Lakers. He is the son of Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame member Bill Walton. He is widely regarded as an excellent passer, and a skilled ball handler especially for his size, (6'8"). He has developed into an excellent role player, especially productive in the Triangle Offense employed by the Lakers and coach Phil Jackson.
In December of 2008, 35-year-old Stacy Elizabeth Beshear pleaded no contest to stalking Walton. Beshear was sentenced to three years probation and must stay away from Walton's home and Lakers games and practices.SI.com: Woman Pleads No Contest to Stalking Lakers Forward Walton

Walton would be selected in the 2003 NBA draft with the 32nd pick by the Los Angeles Lakers. He would be a nice fit in the passing heavy triangle offense utilized by coach Phil Jackson.
