4. vs. Washington Wizards (1/22/12)

Stats: 20 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists

The Charlotte Bobcats ended up losing this game to the Washington Wizards by a final score of 102-99 but it could have been worse if it wasn’t for the play of Kemba Walker.

In his 21st game in the NBA, then rookie Kemba Walker registered his first triple double of his career. He added two steals and one block in this game as well.

While he was a little over a third of the way through his rookie season (this year was shortened due to a lockout) this game was one of the first for Walker at point guard. The team had moved him over to replace the injured D.J. Augustin and this performance was clearly a sign of things to come.
