We get to the 20 game mark (1/4 way through the season) and he's still putting up those numbers then hats a super, super impressive improvement.

Who is the other?

Jeff teauge? (Idk if he got the max tho)

Kemba's game has reminded me quite a bit of Jeff Teague this season. Our team in general kind of reminds me of Atlanta.

the only difference is Hawks have the right AL, while hornets have the wrong Al... if the hornets have the right Al, the hornets are a top 3 team in east.

this is called "Jeremy Lin " effect... Lin could turn Patrick Beverley, Ronnie Price into starters, Jordan Clarkson into a first team all rookie...Lin could turn Kemba into a 50/40/90 shooter... Lin has the golden touch, every team should a sign a lin... :wink:

He's not a White Walker, he's a Kemba Walker. Winter is coming. Brace yourselves.

Kemba is first on the team in points per game, assists per game, steals per game, PER, VORP, BPM, WS, and hes third in blocks per game. Hes also shooting over 40% from deep.

Watching that video in the context of thinking about Kemba is absolutely amazing.

Is Kemba having the best season of any PG in the Eastern Conference so far? Pretty much every other PG is struggling with inefficiency or their numbers are just way down. Only Lowry has a better PER, Lowry, Hill, Galloway, and Mo Williams have better TS%, and Lowry has more win shares. That's it.

Walker needs at least half a season of solid shooting before I get excited. I'm not expecting him to keep this tear up, but somewhere on the middle would be fine.

Eh he's been alright. Says more about the rest of the team than it does him except for the 3pt shooting part.

lol, it says more about the teams we've had the last two years than anything. This is what Kemba can do with an offense that's better than D-League caliber. This is exactly what we've needed on offense for a while.

I was being mildly sarcastic. Kemba usually always lead the team in pts, ast, stls, and besides Al he usually have the best PER. The 3pt shooting is a testament of him getting better looks tho now with Batum, Lamb, and Lin being capable playmakers with 3pt threat depth.

It says that Kemba is our best player by default. Kudos to Cho for finally adding some legit 3pt threats instead of hanging onto Hendo bum ass so many years.

Think Batum would like to have a conversation with you about that. He's at least in the conversation.

Excuse my French but **** Batum. Lol. He can talk to me and I wouldn't understand him. He's posting career numbers and Kemba is still better. I'm happy to see Batum ballin tho because we need it.
