The Kemba Walker Thread

Kemba is a better PG now than Robinson ever was at any point in his career.

Its essentially his rookie year...I think Dunlap can get through to him by the end of the season

You just named two players that I'm sure Kemba's rookie season stats were better than their career stats. C'mon :-?

Well, Reggie made his analysis of Kemba and said the truth; he's an undersized scorer who's ideal role would be as a 6th man off the bench to play point and accelerate the game with his energy.

That's no knock on the guy, but seriously, if we have a PG that has some size and can do all the things you want a PG to do at a high level, he will beat Kemba out for starter minutes. This is why I suggest not counting out Sessions, despite the obvious position today that Kemba will get every chance to be the starter. I think having somebody like Kemba being a 6th man would be awesome.

Kemba is the first player I've seen who's career high shot attempts in a game is higher than his career high points scored in a game, normal rational thinking doesn't apply to the world of kwalks.

...though Nate is still a much better player than Earl

That is your and Reggie's opinion.

God, those puns were a reach. Seriously, Craproll?

Well, I would say that Mully who went for 31 (61% from the field by the way) that night, Hendo, UPS and Biz could easily taken some of those shots.

Post #1278 » by **fatlever** » Sun Jul 22, 2012 3:29 pm

perhaps instead of missing 20 shots that night, he could have kept passing and ended up with 15 assists and we would be talking about that game as kemba's best game as a pro. 3 of the starters in that game (mullens, biz and ups) shot over 60% on a combined 40 field goal attempts. maybe, just maybe, kemba could have kept getting those 3 the ball rather than calling his own number 26 times. or he could have tried to jumpstart a struggling henderson, who was 4 of 13 that night. i'd much rather have henderson (who was our most efficient starter last year) missing 20 shots.

For Big Slam....

"This was a great week for me to get used to coach (Mike) Dunlap's system and play with these guys," Walker said. "It was tough going through all the losing we did last year, and I never want to experience that again. So it was important for all of us to come here to Vegas and play well and get some confidence going into training camp."
