Its interesting to compare the impression one initially got when reading about the high school version of Mayo and Walker and then listening to them once they actually turned pro. Both are way wasy more mature than I would have ever thought.

All the stuff i'm hearing about Walker is really impressing me. I thought that Giddens would be the one that came in ready to contribute while Walker would be more about his potential than immediate contribution. Giddens is the older player and I thought he had the more complete game, but he has faded into the background while where hearing all this stuff great stuff about Walker.

I'm still expecting Gidden's to show some promise soon, but I now see Walker as the more NBA ready rookie. He'll probably be something like a bigger TA minus the turnover's and mental lapses.

It's early. I still think Giddens will get more burn this season than Walker. If they both contribute, that'd be great.

Love Walker getting into it with KG and not backing down, that's how you earn respect.

I sometimes wonder why we drafted Giddens instead of Walker We could have drafted Walker in the first round and make a spot for PJ Brown. Let's hope that Giddens can provide and fill that sg need. All of sudden, we are looking at TAllen.
