Kemba Walker’s Continued Development

After his first four seasons in the NBA, we kind of thought we already knew what Kemba Walker was. During those first few years, he was a high volume scorer that wasn’t always as efficient as you’d want him to be. Then, last season happened.

In 2015-16, he posted career highs in scoring and all his shooting percentages. Even if he stayed on last year’s clip, it would be good enough for your starting point guard. However, this season, he’s been even better.

Walker is on his way to more career highs in scoring and percentages. That’s not easy to do. Charlotte has to be thankful for Kemba.
