I'd be extremely happy if he did. Walter has been a huge uplift to this team. Valle would have to sit out a year, but would be apart of a roster that contains only Kadeem Green and Stevie Taylor. He would be essential for our back court.
Well, I dunno that he would be essential. I think we're overvaluing this guy a bit because of the school he attends, similar to what some (not all) on this site did with Mr. Green. If he really is a "knockdown shooter," as one poster opined, I'm surprised he isn't playing more for the 'Eyes, since they need all the offense they can get. Indicates to me he must really be deficient in other areas of his game...
I was thinking the same thing. Looking at his
stats, he hasn't been really impressive except for one outing vs. Chicago St where he got 11 pts in 13 min. But I caught the second half of the O$U-Wis game today and he showed a lot of hustle in the short time he was in toward the end of the Badgers' blowout. They were down by 20+ with under a minute but instead of letting Wis bring the ball up unmolested he stepped in and stole it in the backcourt. He put up a brick after that, but while he was in he got a reb, 2 assts, 2 blocks, a steal and 3 pts. He didn't look that unhappy, although the CBS crew mentioned he was trying to get more PT. Maybe he was trying to put impress other people besides Matta.
