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.

This is true but I always saw when he would do it as almost naturally clumsy. There seem to be some guys that kinetically don’t seem to be able to step without thinking no matter how much they drill. I’m not him or around him so obviously that’s just my assessment, but that’s how it always looked to me.
It’s like John Cena in wrestling. You’ll hear him and others talk about how he has a crazy work ethic but he’s also naturally clumsy and has two left feet. So he has to put in a lot of work and stick to the basics to be serviceable
