These are all good points.  On Walker's behalf, I'd say this: Vin Baker
scored 23 last night without breaking a sweat.  Payton would break the
press, Schrempf would make a nifty pass, then Baker would dunk or go to
the line (or both).  If Antoine had that type of support, he'd be more
effective, too.  It's a chicken/egg situation: does Walker have to
improve for the team to get better, or vice versa?  Either way, it's a
long process.
