I agree. Pitino would love for Walker do develop a big muscular body like
Malone and punish opponents physically, but Walker wouldn't buy it because
he has a personal vision of that. But I think that the Pippen comment is
not meant to turn Walker into Pippen, but rather to get him into great
shape; at this point, Pitino just doesn't want Walker to come in badly
conditioned.

It's a question of effort I think. Pitino is correct that Walker could put on
the muscle; Walker replied in the paper that he just didn't think of his game
as being like Malone's game.

Nah, you are right, they are both in great shape. I just don't think that
Pitino is actually trying to get Walker to shape his body in a specific way.
I think he is just trying to motivate him to get in shape and eat well in
whatever way he can. Pitino always is wishing for that in interviews.
