From the predictions at CNN



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:

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.
