Walker Kessler understands the expectations that come with being a Los Angeles Laker.
After the Lakers made a major investment to acquire the 24-year-old center from the Utah Jazz, Kessler met with the media for the first time in Las Vegas on Monday and expressed his excitement about joining L.A.
The Lakers acquired Kessler in a blockbuster offseason trade on July 1, sending two unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and two first-round pick swaps in 2028 and 2030 to Utah in a sign-and-trade deal.
Shortly after the deal, Kessler agreed to a four-year, $130 million contract extension, showing how highly the organization views his future.
Kessler said knowing the Lakers' belief in him has motivated him even more entering this next chapter in his career.
