Plus Hendo doesn't always catch and shoot, he likes to dribble into a shot even off of a pass and if the player makes a basketball move (other than shoot) after the pass then there is no assist on the play.

Henderson is assisted on 56% of his made baskets.

It could be even higher if he would catch and shoot.

So? This is pathetic. Good players can get stats on bad teams, even assists. Nash is still averaging more assists per game than anyone else. On the suns, who suck ass.

I don't know if someone posted this link yet, but it's an interesting video (Kemba talking about his first season so far and his best moments)

CaptainCrunk is just bitter. Kemba Walker is currently the best player the Charlotte Bobcats have. Tell him John Hollinger said it.

Around 3:44 in that vid said pretty much word for word what I wrote about Kemba

John Hollinger is pretty much worthless. Also Kemba sucks, we need to trade him + our first round pick for expiring deals.

Perhaps he hasn´t played up to the expectations, but I doubt that the best solution is to trade him along with, perhaps, Anthony Davis, for expirings. I don´t think his value is that low, and as another poster suggested on the rebuilding topic, in case of trading him I would do that if we get picks in return, but not if we include that valuable top-3 pick we own.

We have to give the boy more time, it has been only 50 games with no preseason and training camp. If he doesn´t improve next year then yes, we should consider trading him

Low? His value is NEGATIVE!!! KEmba is worse than a scrub, he's probably the worst top 10 pick in the history of basketball.

Well, i´d rather have a scrub who is paid 4/5 millions than TT, who won´t improve (he has been here for two and a half seasons) and has a much worse contract. Let´s give Kemba more time to see what he can become and if he finally is a complete bust...well, we can always trade him for a second round (Ala Leandro Barbosa).

P.S:

I´ve read the next post. I supposed so, but I´ve read so many posts of crunk attackin him that I thought it was for real :lol:

You guys are so deep up Kemba's ass that I'm surprised it's light enough to read my posts anymore.

^ not trolling this time.

EDIT: Hope this isn't considered bad/suspension worthy

On a serious note, Kemba is playing slightly better lately.

The trolling/baiting could be deemed against the rules, but I didn't really care as it's been dead and that was one of the few things creating discussion.

But now your heading towards insulting, which would definitely be crossing the line. So if you can refrain from the insults it would be appreciated.

To me the trolling was so obvious (which doesn't mean it wasn't funny) that I was very surprised to see people actually react to it.

On Topic: Kemba is obviously a player we need to have to build for the future, but at the same time I think everyone should be ready to admit that he hasn't had a fantastic season so far. There are many different (and perhaps valid) reasons for his play, but he still hasn't been playing very well. There are some bright spots (assists, low turnovers), but saying he is having a great season is definitely not true.

Just take note Kemba, you have to be fat and out of shape to get any minutes from these Silas! Maybe we will get a real coach in here next season.

What fat and out of shape player are you talking about? Diaw is gone, Diop is out injured.
