Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler has attracted significant endorsement from fellow NBA champion after impressing with his defensive skills. The 7-footer's ability to block shots, rebound and finish at the rim has caught the attention of the Los Angeles Lakers. Former Lakers forward Horace Grant highlights Kessler's tough demeanor and versatile skill set as crucial assets to the team's defensive core.
Kessler's impressive statistics, including averaging over 2 blocks per game over his first three full seasons and leading Team USA in blocks during the 2023 FIBA World Cup, further demonstrate his effectiveness at the position. With Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves leading the Lakers' offense, Kessler's presence in the paint would provide additional stability and make their ball-handlers' responsibilities less daunting.
