Another reason to move Walker and or Battie in a package for a better
defensive presence and shot blocker like Foyle or Cato. I am not sure he is
any more of a liability inside than Walker, Battie & Blount.

Not entirely. It certainly can be for rebounding. The Cs are more than
proof of that, where other than Battie I think their best rebounders are at
the guards -including Pierce - a stat he doesn't get enough credit for. But
the real issue is with the rest of the game, and the invitation it offers
to post him up on defense and problems he might have getting off his own
shot inside against top pros, because at his natural position he will be
playing against much bigger guys.
