[情報] Walker May Begin To Start
Miami Herald - Antoine Walker has received mixed reviews at best from Heat fans
this season, but the veteran forward has put together a steady string of games
lately.
The latest one, a season-high-tying 26-point effort Wednesday in Orlando, could
even open the possibility of Walker returning to the starting lineup as a small
forward alongside Udonis Haslem and Shaquille O'Neal on the front line.
''I don't know,'' Heat coach Pat Riley said after the Heat's 110-100 win in
Orlando. ``We were winning with James [Posey] in there, and the winning
percentage is about the same, so we'll just have to see. But [Walker] does
bring some more versatility; there's no doubt about it.''
Walker has started the past two games for Posey, who sat out with the flu and
has started all but one game he has played in this season. But in the two games
before sitting out, Posey went scoreless. Walker, meanwhile, has continued a
trend of efficiency.
The most common complaint about Walker has been his shot selection, which has
stayed with him his entire career. But in his past 20 games, this season,
Walker, a career 41.5 percent shooter, is shooting 49.5 percent from the field.
As a career starter, Walker seems to be able to find better scoring
opportunities with the starting unit. In his eight games as a starter this
season, Walker is averaging 16.3 points, shooting 47.2 percent from the field
and 37.7 percent from three-point range (both percentages would be better than
any year in his career).
Posey is averaging a career low in points and has struggled to find consistent
scoring opportunities.
