Antoine can improve...



I was looking at Antoine's numbers and stumbled upon something. 
First, let me say, he is in the top ten in scoring, rebounding and 
steals, but I am sure we all knew that. :-) Regardless, I have still 
be critical of Antoine but I was beginning to think that my criticism 
was unwarrented until I stumbled upon ESPNET's total player rating 
which rated Antoine 24th!! Right behind Brevin Knight and right ahead 
of Mark Jackson!! I  looked at the formula used and it seems that 
Antoine's turnovers are hurting him real bad, which is why I was all 
over him. Plus his field goal percentage is kind of low. 
After I mulled this all over, I came to the conclusion that this is 
actually good news. If Antoine improves the little things, which 
maturity and RP should help with, then he will be truly dominating. 
The point is, Walker's weakness are easily correctible (sp?) and once 
corrected, he will be truly dominating.
