Kemba Walker

There is no question that this Charlotte Hornets team is Kemba Walker’s team and they will go only as far as their best player is able to take them.

The former Top 10 pick looks like he is just hitting his stride, coming off two All-Star seasons. Each of those seasons, Walker averaged over 22 points and 5.5 assists per game.

While Parker is on this team to help the transition, the onus will be on Walker to lead this offense. He will be tasked with getting this offense in a rhythm and executing Borrego’s game plan. It would not be surprising if Walker sets a career high in assists this coming season.
