8. vs. Dallas Mavericks (11/10/12)

Stats: 26 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 8 steals

This wasn’t the prettiest game for Kemba Walker however the play on the defensive end of the court is why this game makes the list. In his second year in the league, as a member of the Charlotte Bobcats, Walker set a career high in steals with eight as they went on to beat the Dallas Mavericks 101-97.

While Walker did end up shooting only 46% from the field, he started to show flashes of what makes him such an important piece to this organization. When he isn’t shooting well he is able to impact the game in the other ways, whether it is rebounds, assists or steals.
