Darvin Ham 'Excited as Hell' to Have Russell Westbrook on Lakers Amid Trade Rumors
New Los Angeles Lakers coach Darvin Ham is doubling down on his positive comments regarding Russell Westbrook.
Ham appeared on the broadcast of the Lakers' summer league game against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday and expressed excitement about how Westbrook will fit in his system.
"Russ, in my opinion, he's in great shape, he's durable," Ham said. "In this system, this four-out-one-in system, he's gonna have a chance to screen and roll and make plays in the half roll. He's gonna have a chance to run on the break, slash, get layups. He's gonna have a chance to sprint out to the corner, flatten the defense, get corner threes, as well as the things he already does well in terms of getting the ball and pushing the pace and pushing the tempo. I'm excited as hell to have Russell Westbrook on our team."
