True Mercer's career doesn't equate to what Walker has done.  I am more
curious as to why Walker is not playing up to par this season.  (Hence the
Mercer comparison.  I was saying for what Walker has done so far this year
we could've had Ron Mercer do it cheaper.)  I'd be curious to see how many
double-double's Walker has this year in comparison to Pierce and Griffin.
