Re: Sporting News - Walker next scoring champ?

I think Walker will play better this season, but I'm not sure his stats 
will show it (other than shooting percentage).  The addition of Pierce, 
Mercer's development and Kenny's ball distribution will mean less shots 
for Antoine.  And this is a good thing.  He'll also get fewer rebounds 
if he shoots better, because a lot of his boards come from putting back 
his own missed bunnies.    

When I watched the Toronto game, it was striking to me how less 
prominent Antoine was on the court.  The Celtics would come down the 
court and actually have options on offense!  To me, this is the surest 
sign that this team is improving.

PS I'd pick Karl Malone for the scoring title.
