i was just being glib -- i know his name is marcus. maybe the knicks would be interested in swapping him for billy walker.

“I didn’t know he could shoot that well,” said Rivers, “but I always knew that he had an NBA feel. The problem was that he was always under the knife.”

This is right on (assuming it is about Bill Walker).  It was very tough for Doc to know what Bill Walker could do, because he kept missing crucial development and practice times (which are times when young guys earn minutes) with injuries. 

I dont know he played in 24 D League games and he shot 53% from the field and 40% from 3. That's a decent sample size to judge shooting. I just think it is ignorant to say that he didnt know he could shoot. He actually went on after that quote to say, "He just never showed it". Well unless when he practiced with the Celtics he didnt shoot at all, he must have shown it. Guys usually shoot better in practice.

It's not like he was injured the WHOLE time or even the majority of the time. I feel like he was just overlooked because he was low on the depth chart. I definitely hear you and I know Bill did not have enough time to prove he was better that Daniels, Allen, or even Scal, but for Doc to say he didnt know he was a good shooter just screams to me that he wasnt paying attention.

This is coming from a guy who really likes Doc by the way!

  He took a total of 64 shots with the Celts, including 1 three, which he missed.

Listen im not in the Bill Walker is a star and he should have played when he was here camp. I was a little miffed that Doc said he didnt know he could shoot, when he showed he could shoot in the D-League. He didnt shoot when he was up with the Celtics because he was never on the floor, and deservedly so.

Was he bricking shots in practice? I guess Ill never know.

  But 1 shot out of 64? That's an amazingly small amount for someone that can hit the three with regularity. And he could have been hitting them in practice and not in games. Look at Rondo in that HORSE game. He must have been at around 80%.

Or Lester Hudson?

Can't forget Lester and his recent one month string of zeros in game logs because he is once again back in the D-League.
Don't forget about Gabe Pruitt!!

I'm all for fielding a D-League all-star team when the current Big Three see their contracts expire...  There's gold down there... 

Ha Ha! That would be fun to watch. Oh wait, all we have to do is watch a Knicks game...

By the way, do any of your posts end withOUT  ?

yeah, this one.
