Better Roleplayer: Walton or Battier 

Post#1 » by Taiwan Killa » Mon Feb 11, 2008 8:28 pm

When both are healthy.

When Luke is healthy he can put up 11 PPG, 5 boards, 4 assists like he did last year.

Battier on the other hand gives you 10 points, 4 boards, and 2 assists with better defense.

Both are good team chemistry guys, who's the better roleplayer.

Battier is better by a good margin IMO.

Seriously. Battier would give us the defense and outside shooting that we need from that spot. Walton has never been a good defender, and this year his outside shooting seems flaky at best.

Luke is an overrated system player. I was glad when we drafted him but I'd trade him + pick for Battier's wristband.

Battier also has leadership abilities that Walton has yet to demonstrate. I don't think it's particularly close, and if you offered other teams their choice not many would take Walton.

Battier is better in almost every way.
