KEMBA WALKER VS D.J. AUGUSTIN COMPARISON

PER 36 MIN STATISTICS THRU 1ST 17 GAMES

KEMBA WALKER
PTS FG% 3P% REB AST TO STL
16.5 38% 33% 4.8 4.7 2.7 1.6

D.J. AUGUSTIN
PTS FG% 3P% REB AST TO STL
15.0 41% 34% 3.4 7.3 2.8 0.8

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.

Sure, yeah, nothing matters whatever. But stats can help you figure out what kind of style a player exhibits.

38% fg and only 4.7apg per 36. those two stats are the main concern for kemba. an inefficient shoot first pg is always a concern. i can live with a shoot first pg when the %s are good and i can live with an inefficient pg when the assists are good. kemba must improve in these areas next year and even as this year progresses. i'd like to see him get that fg% up to at least 43%. asking for anything more than that is probably not realistic for kemba.

Kemba's rookie statistics thus far are almost parallel to that of D.J's back in '08-09. The comparison was only intended to show that despite what seems like early struggles, Kemba is still on par for a solid rookie campaign. I can only see him progressing even more from here until the end of the season.

[fatlever]

right now his rookie stats look like ammo's rookie stats.

[fatlever]

ammo: 11.8ppg, 2.9rpg, 2.1apg, 37.6fg%
kemba: 11.4ppg, 3.3rpg, 3.2apg, 38.1fg%

That's if you only care about individual stats and not about WINNING games. Each game is unique. You do what you have to do in order to win THAT game.

This is not math class.

right now his rookie stats look like ammo's rookie stats.

what comparison are you trying to make? lol Kemba is already miles ahead of ammo.

Little too early to say that. Athletically? Yea, sure. Basketball wise? I highly doubt it.

yeah because every player that puts up similar stats regardless of position or situation or amount of games played is comparable

Who said I was referring to stats? I think there's no question Morrison had more maturity coming out of college. Kemba may have "swag" (if you can even define such a thing) but Morrison had an understanding for the game which Kemba has yet learned.

Morrison failed because he had poor health and was emotionally unable to deal with extremely high expectations AKA bad "swag". Our coaching situation (and his lack of playing time post-injury) didn't help either. Kemba may not have confidence issues but until he finds his place in the game, he's not going to be consistent.

[TheKingofSting]

I'm a Huge Kemba fan boy but I want to see him drive more at the beginning of games, the guy is as fast as lightening, those shots will be there and driving could open up better looks later on.

Sure, games are unique, whatever. I still know Dwight is a better rebounder than Nelson. I can show you just by linking you to their stats. The disparity is obvious and needs no other explanation than that Dwight is more skilled at rebounding.

I think it showed that comparing rookie stats is no way to judge a player.

[SWedd523]

Just watch the game.

Lol, wut?

[TheKingofSting]

Hopefully Kemba will have 2 or 3 good games while dja is out or some of you will be ready to cast him away.

Dude? Where did you get that from. Adam would tell you himself that he has always been able to regulate his diabetes during games. Adam failed because he was to poor of an athlete to defend either the two or the three position let alone consistently get good shots at the nba level.

Waiting for "MJ mentors Kemba" thread.
