I'd say Kemba played his best season the year before we signed Al too. Nope, not a coincidence. Even MKG was more of a highlight reel driving the lane and spinning off players that year.
The year before Al came, Dunlap ran the offense Kemba had in college that helped him become so productive. Essentially, we gave him a high pick to help him get open looks to score, the whole offense was designed around him as a scorer, I guess you could call it Kembaffense, we also sucked pretty bad that season.
The problem with Kemba is that he's not capable of getting good numbers in the flow of the game on the regular. He needs alot of picks and plays designed for him where he has to do alot of running to try to lose his defender (which maybe why his fg percentage is always bad from having to use his legs so much working hard for every shot due to his lack of size).
Also, Kemba is not a floor general, he's a scoring guard but..he's not even a efficient scorer. He's got heart and he doesn't fear the big shots, but he's not a solid pure PG. If he couldnt score 20ppg with a offense designed for him, nor could he shoot a good percentage that is telling. I'd keep Hendo, Zeller (maybe Vonleh) and MKG and I'd clean house to get picks or quality players if we miss the playoffs. I dont see Kemba as a guy you build around, he would be a quality addition with the right team though.
