I concur. And I hope the wing is McLemore or Shabazz and the big men are Boozer and Cousins.


As a avid watcher of Derrick Rose I don't want no parts of Boozer on our team even if we could get him for peanuts. Cousins on the other hand would be awesome. As far as the draft I'm more sold on Shabazz or Bennett as possible superstars in the future and if we have to take a safe pick then it should be Noel.

This performance by Kemba gave him some nice exposure as a budding star in the NBA. It would've been nice if we could've pulled out the win. We would've converted a lot of Lakers fans into believers since they are praying for Rockets losses :wink:

Kemba Walker Breaking Out Despite Another Rough Season For Bobcats

The Charlotte Bobcats had a few moments throughout the first two months of the season, but the reality is they remain a bad basketball team. That reality is what makes Kemba Walker so good. It’s easy for a guy to put up gaudy numbers on a lottery team, but it’s not easy for a talented player to shine in a bad situation and separate himself from those that pad their stats while the rest of the league feasts on their team.

Walker has done that and more this season.

The Bobcats have a lot of issues, but it’s easy to see that selecting Walker in the 2011 NBA draft was the right decision, perhaps the best in the franchise’s eight-year history. Walker is a heck of a player and has a world of potential. He’s exciting, likable, talented, and confident. It would seem that the Bobcats have a young guy they can build around, but that speaks to the future. In the meantime, Walker has become the go-to guy in Charlotte and quickly gained the trust and respect of his coaches and teammates.

Brilliant.

Maybe should post this in the Kemba v Knight thread for those that haven't seen him play?

You can always tell a team is bad if when you are watching a players highlights he has to constantly make his own shot due to the lack of good positioning by his team-mates.

Kemba is blossoming into a star. This guy's contract HAS to be extended.

We got another year and a half before this kind of talk. Actually at least another 2 years depending on how you want to look at it but I'm sure he'll be extended though.

Will be interesting to see if Walker is Rondos replacement on all star team.

It's just that they've been doing it for longer than Kemba has. Kemba's only been playing well this year and a lot of people are writing him off as a fluke. Kemba's making his doubters pay this year though and will continue to do so. Easily our best draft pick ever so far.

It should be Brook Lopez. Stern doesn't have to take a guard.

There are too many bigs on the team as it is. Lopez would be the 4th string center.

Outside chance of making the All Star team if Stern picks him to replace Rondo. I could see it, Deron Williams has not been as good and Brandon Jennings is Brandon Jennings.

If Kemba gets picked by Stern to be Rondo's replacement, I can see the Brooklyn fans would go up in arms. :lol:
