I'm saying Billy becuase TA is already known as somebody who CANT be counted on down the stretch of a big game. And Green has already played his way from a high potential future star... to a 12th man who doesn't even know if he'll dress one a nightly basis. All three could avg 13-20 points in a starting role for some crap team.

All three have great athleticism and can really jump. Green can shoot but can't play defense. Tony Allen can play defense but can't really shoot Tony Allen and Green both have little basketball IQ, which is what makes me choose Walker.  Walker is strong and will learn how to play good defense, and probably develop his jump shot.

Walker.

Because I already know that Allen and Mr. Potential suck.

I'd say Walker could end up being just as bad as the other two (but at least we didn't use a first rounder on him), but he still has time and potential to become a decent player. 

Walker has to work hard developing both an offensive game that isn't limited to finishing at the rim and doesn't cause a lot of turnovers and a perimeter defensive game that doesn't get him in foul trouble.

Same here. 

I was looking at stats today, and Tony shot .282 eFG% on jumpers last year.  Ugh.  That may be the worst number I've ever seen from a guard.  He made Rondo look like a sharp-shooter.

Green.


To bad he just will never get it to be able to live up to even 10% of that potential.

I like Tony Allen. I think he's a decent player. That's more than Bill Walker has shown.

In terms of potential, I'd have to go with Bill Walker.  By all accounts, he's very intelligent and works very hard.  Can't say that about either Gerald or TA.

How old does tony get to be with how many injuries and lack of performance before we cash in his "he has potential!" excuse?

27? 28? 30+?

I'm also going with walker, because i know who tony allen is at this point in his career, and its a 9th or 10th man on a decent team. gmoney is a dream, and a bad one.

walker is the only one left with any potential, as far as im concerned.

TA and B Walker have had very different paths to the NBA. The only thing they have in common is untimely knee injuries. Walker any day, not only is a much more highly regarded talent from the beginning, but he has a good head on his shoulders. He is an emotional player like KG, so may take him a while to learn how to channel that energy.

If Doc played him he'd be nasty. Nice crossover, can jump for sure, good rebounder, nice on D, decent jumper etc.
