Walker's ability to create and pass (in theory) as well as play inside
would complement Iverson

I can't imagine a scenario where AW would compliment Iverson.  What I think 
you would see is two huge egos battling for who gets the shots.


As for Walkers "inside play", I have yet to see it except for occasional 
flashes.  As a matter of fact the ONLY shot Walker shoots with any kind of 
rhythm or form is the 3 pointer when he has time to set himself. (and that 
is the shot I hate to see him take the most)
How do you get to be 6-10 and develop no low post moves?!?  Think about 
it.  He has no moves on the block, except a spin to the baseline or a sort 
of half hook.  In both cases, he never shoots the shot the same way 
twice.  Really solid low post moves (McHales up and under, Chief's baseline 
spin) had the same fundamental execution every time. I am also disappointed 
that he has never developed any kind of midrange jump shot.

I have had high hopes for AW every since the C's got him (might have been 
ML Carr's best moment)  but IMHO he has developed not one iota since 
becoming a Celtic, and a Celtic CAPTAIN at that.  If he won't average for 
this team 20 pts on 45% shooting, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, and 70% from the 
line, I say trade him.
