Kemba's listed at 6'1". Why does everyone say that he's closer to 5'10"?

Because he looks relatively small out there, maybe closer to 5'11''

Athletes always lie about their height. It's not worth debating because we'll find out when pre-draft measurements come out.

I don't think Kembs 6'1 but I also don't think he's 5'10. If I had to guess Id say he's a hair under 6'0.

It's tough not to like him, man. He's got a great belief in himself and his teammates. And he uplifts the team through his play.

Jimmer Fredette, BTW, is doing the same thing vs. Florida as we speak.

Re: Official Raptors 2011 NBA Draft Thread, Part 4
Let's just say that in a sucky draft which will get worse when a couple of big names stay in school, having Kemba as a backup plan for the #5 pick is not half bad. The guy won't be a bust. He may be a beast. I'd love it if he faces Brandon Knight or Kyrie Irving in the tourney so we can really get a head to head measure of Walker's game.

I just keep reading scathing assessments of his defence. Let's see him play a premier point who forces him to really exert on defence.

As long as he plays for BYU, he probably won't. Needs all the energy for offense and can't afford to foul

Jeremy Lamb is the next Doug Christie. It's been the Kemba and Lamb show for UCONN.

Yeah I dont know if his game will translate well in the NBA but he is definitely carrying that BYU team today, fun player to watch.

Would they guard each other? Maybe Knight vs Walker, but Walker seems to play the off-guard role.
Walker seems to play well as a team, and his vision seems to be alright with a willingness to pass and make good decision.
I haven't watched Knight yet, and only one game of Irving, so I am still high on Walker at 6th.
