    What do you think of Luke Walton's pro potential? Does he have the skills to be a contributor in the NBA?

    I think he will make it in the NBA. He will have to improve his shooting quite a lot to be starting material however. My guess is he will be a solid bench player, he doesn't have the quickness or shooting to be a top notch 3, nor quite the height to play everyday at the 4. But he does do a lot of things well, some of them obvious (passing, court instincts) some of them less obvious (defense, he is stronger than people realize and great at position rebounding). I see him as a much more offensively well-rounded but less dirty version of Najera or Corliss .

    The big questions on him are shooting, feet health, and if he really suits one forward position or the other at the next level. Again though, provided decent health, I think he will be a regular bench contributer in the NBA.
