At the CNN site there is an NBA preview. It has ten predictions. One of
them is on Walker and is at this url and set forth below:
http://cnnsi.com/basketball/nba/events/1997/nbapreview/10predictions.html
Jason Kidd and Antoine Walker will make the All-Star team.
Point guard Kidd will blossom in Phoenix under
coach Danny Ainge
and alongside veteran Kevin Johnson. Combined,
Ainge and
Johnson have 24 seasons of NBA backcourt experience to
share with
Kidd. Meanwhile, in Boston, Walker will come into his
own. As a rookie
last season, the small forward showed undeniable
talent—albeit, at times,
unbridled. But now that his former coach at Kentucky,
Rick Pitino, is
cracking the whip for the Celtics, Walker should
become a star. With his
speed and agility, he will thrive in Pitino's running
game. The only thing
holding Walker back is his own team—Boston is so
understaffed at power
forward, with just 6'10" Andrew DeClercq, that Walker
may be forced to
play the 4-spot for a spell.
