An article in a Boston paper recently noted that using the unscientific 
formula points+rebounds+assists-turnovers, Walker had the second highest 
rating after Iverson.  Walker was very productive in February while 
having to play center much of the time.  Let's see if he's chosen as 
Rookie of the Month.  If so, then he's in the running for Rookie of the 
Year.  If not, then we can figure he's being ignored.
