I think it should be something along the lines of a graphic signature dedicated to "Kemba Walker or Brandon Knight for MVP"

If Kemba win's I think you should make a Sig which declares his love for the 2 following players.

Kemba is so improved this season. It is starting to click and he is getting better week by week. Still has a ways to go, but he is solid for us.

He's more than solid, he's looking like a legit star. He'll fall back down a bit, but damn does he look good or what?

Word of advice: don't go to the GB asking if they think Kemba is legit. If you've been there recently, you know why.

Quiet a bit of hate for Walker on Raptors board. I hope he lights them up Wednesday.

I know it is early, but Kemba has shown amazing strides in his game this season. Right now, here is how he ranks:
#19 scoring at 18.8 #30 in Assists at 5.3 #4 in Steals at 2.6

He just needs to keep working on the Assists, and maintain the other two areas of his game. This young man is going to be a key part of our future.

I'm telling you now. If Kemba had a shooting guard who could knock down threes consistently I think his assists would be up 2.5 per game. Instead he kicks out to an open shooter and they pump fake, take two dribbles and give the ball back to him.

It might sound like a broken record, but the name "Jeremy Lamb" is like music to my ears

Mayo fold under pressure, and have the ability to be overtly selfish at times. Like someone mentioned, he might just be playing well for the Mavs in hopes for a long term wealthy contract. In case anyone forgot already, there's a reason why he went from starting for the Grizzlies, to the bench, to being given his walking papers for nothing in return.

Almost a week old but good press nonetheless. ESPN thinks that Kemba Walker is becoming a premier guard 8-)

Kemba Walker had another great game for the Charlotte Bobcats in their two-point win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, and he's starting to look like a premier fantasy guard. He had 22 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals and is now averaging 18.6 points, 5.6 assists, 3.2 steals and 84 percent shooting from the line on five attempts per game over his past five games.
In particular, the number of free throw attempts is impressive. He's in the top 20 in attempts per game, and because he's shooting such a high percentage from there, he's quite valuable in that category in fantasy leagues. This isn't just a case of him getting more minutes this season, either; he's simply getting to the line with far more frequency overall, which bodes well for his scoring numbers as the season wears on. Walker's average draft position was 92.3, and at the moment he's looking like a lock to make the top 50 in fantasy leagues. Now, that's great value.

premier "fantasy" guard. ;)

kemba and bledsoe are so similar statistically per 36, check it out

kemba: 18.5, 3.7, 5.3, 2.5
bledsoe: 20.0, 5.2, 5.4, 3.1

i cant wait to watch these two guys go at it over the next few years. i kinda hope bledsoe gets traded to a team in the east where he can start and get 30+ minutes. its never going to happen playing behind paul.

lowry also very similar to those two in per 36
lowry: 20.1, 5.6, 7.5, 2.8


or here's a fun game, how do you rank these young super athletic point guards?

holiday, j teague, kemba, conley, lawson, lowry and bledsoe
