Might not be critical if we can't stay close in games.  Still, I think
Walker is now the man, and will be for the forseeable future.  He is a
star.  When the Celts selected him, Pitino was one of the commentators for
TBS or whoever was broadcasting.  He said Walker's stats weren't as fancy
as a lot of players, but that in 3-4 years when people looked back at that
draft, they would be saying he was the best player in the draft.  That
included Iverson and Marbury among others.  I think this is possible.  He
is the go-to guy.
