I'll eat all the crow. He looks great this year. I can only imagine all the work he put in during the off-season. Still can't believe he turned it around.

definately a candidate for most improved player of the year
Right now there are only four players from the 2011 draft who, in my opinion, are making a similar or bigger contribution to their teams. I don't care if Kemba shoots .40 or .50 from the field, as long as he makes the team better I'm cool with it. take a look at Russel Westbrook for instance; he's considered as one of the best point guards in the league, and he shoots .43 for his career (and .29 from 3-point gange).
Walker is effective on both ends of the floor aswell, great scorer and great defender !
My only concern for Kemba has been his shot, and while his 3 is looking brutal, his midrange is much improved and that's just fine. For a guy who can break down defenders off the dribble (as he did last night, buckling somebody's knees with a hesitation out and in dribble) he will become unstoppable if he can knock down that jumper consistently.
As for his ball-hawking on defense...damn...he's turning into the second coming of Muggsy.
Thank you, MJ, for making sure we drafted Kemba at 9 instead of anyone else.
Lol not saying nothing about your post but its funny the 2011 draft in my opinion was the worst draft I've ever seen in my life.Quote:

When he gets that part down we might really have an all star PG on our hands
Kemba is playing great. I love his willingness to get in the paint and rebound. It's only been 5 games I hope he keeps it up.
Cautiously optimistic
