Question about Bill Walker. Does he still have the crazy athleticism from his high school days or did the injury's make him less explosive?
There's quite a few reports saying that Walker's athleticism is back. Appearantly he's looked great in workouts recently. Lost a lot of the weight he put on while injured.
Which means he likely will be gone before 30...which is a shame.
The thing is, even with the injury, he was often one of the most explosive athletes on the floor last year (and he was definitely still carrying extra weight).
I also think a major "Ainge guy" is missing here
Trent Plaisted - He is a big man with excellent athleticism, and a better overall feel for the game than Hardin. To many people he is very much an unknown, but because he went to BYU, Ainge would be very familiar with him. I think if none of the wings (Rush, Walker, CDR, Batum) fall to 30, and Danny doesn't fall in love with a euro to stash, then Plaisted would be right up at the top of the list.
