I really like Walker and Giddens been looking good in the D-league. I'm ready to see Gabe and rookies out there. This team is getting flat out out-hustled these days and some energy from the young'uns might give them a spark.

The look like they can't maintain their intensity for any extended periods of time right now. Giving them some extra rest here and there could be huge.
I'd like to see Giddens up here before Walker, actually. Walker has some fundamentals to work on - cutting down on turnovers and fouls, defense, etc. That stuff can be addressed anywhere. It seemed to me that JR's biggest shortcoming was learning his role on offense. He can't learn to play with the Celtics while he's playing with the Flash, so I'd really like to see him back with the Green so he can spend time with the team and develop some chemistry with them. He brings them the kind of athleticism that they just don't have outside of TA, and TA hasn't been good enough for the role he's been given this year.
I like that Giddens is making his free throws. 73% isn't where it should be, but it's a heck of a lot better than the 58% he was shooting in college. Hopefully it's just confirmation that he needed to concentrate on them, rather than a real deficiency.
