Needless to say I completely disagree with you here, you are looking at his
shooting percentage and labelling him as a selfish player.  What about his
rebounding, assists, steals and block shots? He is worth his weight on those
four attributes alone.

In addition, he has made clutch shots enabling us to win games in the
current season. His low post moves are improving and as I recall yesterday,
when Campbell was abusing knight at center, Pitino put Walker on him to
successfully stop the bleeding. Now I don't know many players who can guard
Grant Hill on one night and Campbell on another successfully. Walker is our
star, he draws double teams, tough assignments and delivers in the clutch.
He more than anybody else is the reason that  we are 7-7,  without him we
would be more like 1-13 or 0-14. - Mishra
