I don't know about McDyess having more athletic ability than Walker.  I 
definitely feel that Walker is more of an offensive threat, at this point 
in his career than McDyess.  I would like to know what criteria you use to 
perceive Jackson as a better defender than Billups.


The main reason Walker put up decent numbers is because of M.L's no defense
game plan and there were little other weapons. As someone else posted
earlier,  expect his numbers to drop if we can get decent production out of
Mercer, Billups. Bowen, Mills etc.  With Knight we need an intimidator in
the post, which Mcdyess with his jumping & shot blocking ability could
provide us.  Neither McDyess nor Walker has shown they are that great form
beyond 15 ft., but with Billups, Bowen, Mercer & Mills they should not need
to be.

The games I saw Billups play I was not that impressed with his defense.
