When Fortson returns...

... why not start him and move Walker into the 6th man role?  Walker might
be struggling right now to fit in with the top unit, but he could add a
lot of skills to the second unit (scoring, ballhandling, rebounding,
passing).  

Right now, the production from the Celtics starting lineup seems to come
mainly from Pierce (scoring), Anderson (leadership/scoring/passing), and
Griffin (rebounding and all of the above). 

Maybe Walker could be more of a leader and consistent contributor if he
were to get more minutes with the second unit (which is similar to
our starting lineup from 1997-98, Walker's best year).  

Walker might be most productive if he is in the lineup whenever Anderson
and/or Pierce are not.
