He isnt an elite scorer, and he is a shoot first pg. However, you put him on a team with good offensive players where he isnt the focal point of the opposing teams defense, and watch his efficiency and value skyrocket. As many have said he isnt a 1st or 2nd option type of guys, but in a lessor role as a 3rd or 4th or in a 6th man role, i still think he can tear the league up. I'd really like to see him on a team with more offensive threats, or see the bobcats get those threats so that we can really see him play in a role that suits him best.

Middle of the road. He's inefficient but has also been put in a bad spot. MKG+Henderson has been, by far, the worst shooting wing duo in the league over the last three seasons. Add to that Big Al clogging the paint and there has been absolutely no floor spacing on the Hornets. Last season, the four starters around Kemba (Al-Zeller-MKG-Henderson) COMBINED to make 0.6 three's a game.

Would assume his efficiency would go up in a role where he didn't have to carry so much of the offense and with more room to operate in. Not sure if the Hornets have made enough improvements in that regard... and that's not to say Kemba doesn't need to make improvements himself.
