Somehow, I still like both more than Devin Harris.

All things considered, the fact he plays with our 2nd unit doesn't help his case as a developing PG. He'll be alright, just don't know whether or not he'll develop into a PG or a 6th man SG aka Jason Terry, Jamal Crawford.

Kemba should still start at PG, and hes still our PG of the future, you guys shouldn't be too hard on our rookies, they had no training camp and no-off season, next year should be the true test, and I'm sure it'll be clear who the superior PG is(Kemba) by the trade deadline. Its ironic, most of you DJ Fanboys say that he is best served as a Jason Terry or Jamal Crawford, when you were the same people that said DJ should be in the same role before he got the chance to show and prove, why can't you guys learn from your misjudgements and give the rookie some time? Personally I think Kemba will be the next Isaiah Thomas when we finally get some talent around him. Ballwhore says the only two people on the team who actually know the offensive sets are Kemba and DJ, its hard to be a PG when you're playing with scrubs that don't run the plays

I'm not, i'm a fan of the Bobcats, but apparently fiction > fact. If Kemba was the better PG on this team i'd be slammed for being a Kemba fan. Damned if you do damned if you don't.

Swedd's just being an ar$e anyway. He just wants some attention.

Kemba Walker was a thorn in Monta Ellis' side defensively, holding him down to 18 points on 6-26 shooting, which was probably the biggest key to the decisive win over the Golden State Warriors tonight.

Surprisingly, Kemba got the better of him even though Monta is taller and much bigger than Kemba. Although, Monta showed on some plays that he is just as quick as Kemba. I would like to see Kemba bulk up more as many guys would look to post him up.

Kemba showed in that game that he is a winner though. He dominated the 1st quarter and closed out the game properly by attacking their weak interior defense.

I don't think he should bulk up. Sure, strength is good. But not at the expense of his other natural abilities. There are very few PGs who post up.

Lawson put on some muscle when he got into the league too. Same with Wade. Both only got better at doing what they were already good at it.

Bulk doesn't slow you down.

Well I wouldn't say they "bulked up". They also lowered their body fat percentage. When I hear "bulk up" I think the opposite of what Tyrus must have been doing over the summer.

Meaningless stat. Per 36 min does not help you win games. Some games you do more, some you do less, but you always do what you have to in order to win the game that night. It's about winning games, not individual stats.
