Walker is up and down. As some here remember during the last two seasons, he has had streaks where he looks elite, and then streaks when everyone wants him benched. Two very small samples was his canceling whoever SF threw at him in the divisional round two years ago and then getting trucked vs better teams late last season.
It seems very little is known about Monk at this point (outside 1265) but I do recall Rhyan being in a very similar position during and after his rookie year. There were a lot of negative rumblings about him. And he now looks like he may be a viable G.
