2nd player chosen as a rook in our franchise history after Mek if I remember correctly.
I will be interested to see when he gets "drafted".
Yeah spectra, they're putting the top 9 sophomores and rookies together and Chuck/Shaq are choosing teams pick up basketball style.
Wow...Kemba's ranked 3rd? With all the flack he's been receiving (not here necessarily) I never would have thunk it.Quote:

Kemba Walker : Charlotte Bobcats
http://www.nba.com/2011/images/12/28/kemba-walker2.jpg
The Bobcats are mired in a 12-game losing streak, but Walker continues to put up decent (but not earth-shattering) numbers. Walker had a 22-point game Saturday in Phoenix and put up 16 with seven rebounds in Tuesday's loss in Boston. With such a young team, it's hard to put too much blame on Walker, who is preaching patience in the face of mounting losses. "It's a grind," Walker told CSNNE.com. "It's tough to win at this level. And we have a young team. A lot of our veteran guys are hurt. The core guys we have are pretty young, and playing right now." The only good thing that will come of all the losses? The 'Cats are likely to have a high pick in June's Draft to team up with Walker.

Proud of him. It cannot be easy going from an NCAA National Championship to the NBA's worst team. But he's doing his part, learning, making mistakes, and busting his butt. It will pay off for him and for the Bobcats in the future.
I think Kemba could be challenging for the top spot at the end of the year if we didnt have DJ.
Congrats to Kemba. He deserves it.
Right on! Kemba's been a helluva trooper for us thus far. Learning a new position with no training camp, playing with a talent-deficient roster, and losing routinely would break many others, but Kemba keeps at it. Very well deserved. Hope he stays healthy and has fun in the game.Quote:

Good news for Kemba, his team is better. Bad news, he is one of four pgs drafted so his pt will probably be light unless they use him as a 2.
