It seems I'm talkin to a wall of BRIGGS lol. Last time I checked TT could not guard any of the fast SF's either. Walker is most likley a better defener then TT. So your argument on how Walker can't play SF is bs. TT should not be playin SF either by your logic. You do realize that TT is 6 10 250? Don't sound like a SF to me either, but we got him playin SF nevertheless. Walker is a great ballhandler, so I dont understand you sayin that LJ was a great ballhandler and Walker wasnt. Seems to me we are suck in certain stereotypes of players and fail to see that TT according to those conventions is not a SF either, yet he plays there.

Walker is not a good defender. He's ok on help, he's not ok man to man. He is an excellent rebounder and his numbers prove it. He's an excellent scorer and his numbers prove it. He's an excellent playmaker and his numbers prove it. He good in the open court, he can handle the ball, he's terrible streaky from long range.

Your right about the KT vs. Walker matchup. There is a reason the Celtics beat us like 14-15 times over a 4 year period. Walker simply abused KT, Spoon, Othella or whatever scrub we put on him. This guy can play. If you want to post and harp on his negatives all day go ahead, but somehow saying this guy isnt an asset to any team is just a waste of bandwidth.

Anyone else a little concerned that part of Walker's logic for coming back East is that would be easier for him to be an all star?

I didn't hear him say that, but if he did, I don't care--EVERY NBA player should have the goal of being an all-star (and winning a championship). If he plays like an all-star, I'm sure he'll help us get wins too
