Cecil, you're absolutely right. And you know, one of the things I like
about Walker, is that he seems to work awfully hard. He brings a tremendous
amount of effort every time he takes the court. I've never heard Pitino say
he dogs it in practice. Even Walker admits his game needs to improve. He's
admitted it and said he's willing to work hard to get there. I hope Mercer
spends as much of his summer at the 3-pt.-line as Walker does the
free-throw-line.
