Based on thier rookie seasons, we have reason to believe that Allen is a
better shooter and passer than Walker.

Only inasmuch as any rookie can be said to have the potential to improve
to superstar status while veterans allegedly have reached their maximum
productivity.  Walker hasn't shown me anything that would lead me to
believe he will ever be better than Baker.  Baker is a better shot
blocker, shooter and rebounder.

Agreed.  Why do you say Walker is great? or will be great?
