quote:"learning to play" defense was not his problem. It's that he simply does not have the speed or quickness to do so. That cannot be learned, mitigated a little, but he just does not have the ability, nor IMO, can he develop it.
That is surprising, he is perfect for the system if he learned how to play better defense.

I disagree, there is technique to playing defense that can close the talent/athleticism gap. How to use your body, how to get wide, better timing, keeping your feet in good position...etc. A lot of the time with Walters I would see him overstep with the wrong foot and his man would immediately attack that foot and go right by him. That's a technique problem, not necessarily a speed/agility problem. He also gave up his chest too much and would get called for fouls he didn't think he deserved.
