Hi Rich:

Stats where Walker always leads Pierce like assists-per-minute and 
rebounds-per-minute can be as valuable to a team as shooting efficiency.

Did you know bin Walker actually averaged more steals than Pierce last year 
(1.70 versus 1.68)?

Walker's SEI (or whatever Athlon calls it) may be truly horrible, but he 
showed versatility and effort by ranking in the NBA top 20 in twenty 
categories last season (according to NBA.COM).
