Kemba Walker Third Team All-NBA

[awfuldan]

Agree with everything except Klay only really struggled for the first 7 games of the season, after that he averaged over 22 ppg on 47% fg and 42% 3 point fg. And we all know about his defense.

Word, good point! Looking at game logs now. Hard to say a dude is struggling when he is breaking the record for most threes in an NBA game..

Quick check shows Ray made all NBA 3rd team once, and 2nd team once. Drummond 3rd team once. I think this firmly establishes Kemba as #2 greatest Husky NBAer.

Rip's title and three All-star bids have gotta put him right up there. Kemba has a long career ahead of him though. Really hope he continues to play well and starts to win more.

It possible for everyone to be right. Kemba absolutely deserved this recognition this season. Klay Thompson is an insane talent and without question worthy of a super max deal. The real issue is having 100 dudes in the media have such an impact on a players salary.

You can't be serious, Klay sacrifices his game more than any player in the league and always gets the toughest assignment on the defensive end. The real screwjob is this was the first all-defensive team he ever made.

What was false?

 

[UofCT]

Would love to see how Klay performs when he is the focal point in an offense with minimal help like Kemba has had to deal with his entire career.

Exactly

Rutgers basketball is going to have to update their website.

Lol. Do you think they will or have they abandon that approach?

Is Kemba on a possible Hall of Fame trajectory? If he ends up a 5x or 6x all-star, top 25 all-time in scoring (very possible), all-NBA, NCAA champion and All-American, he could get a HOF nod for sure. Throw an NBA championship in there and he's probably a lock.

Your right but Kemba started off hot the first on 7 games and the rest of season averaging 25.6 ppg on .43% fg 35% 3 point fg and 4.4 reb 5.5 ast. With Klay stats you forgot to put 3.8 reb 2.4 ast
For career they both average about the same about 20ppg 4 reb kemba 6 ast klay 2.3 ast. Just Klahy gets the recognition cus he is on a super team and kemba has no help. Jordan is the second best player on Charlotte and he don't play anymore.

Stephen A was going hard on the “Kemba sucks and Klay should have made it” platform today

What is he, the 4th option on his team?

And how's that Jimmer Fredette doing?

Lol, no. You clearly don't watch any NBA.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

no offense to Lamb but he is literally the second best player on Charlotte. Kemba has to get out of there.

 

[UConn Esq]

Lol, no. You clearly don't watch any NBA.

He's the #3 scoring option but overall he is closer to being the fourth best player on his team than he is being the second best player on his team.

This is what the Kemba haters don’t understand.

This isn't a slight.

Your entire post.

Opinion can’t be false, it’s my opinion.

 

[the Q]

He's a finalist for MVP and a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year. Objectively its tough to say a guy who is top 3 on both sides of the ball can be overrated.

You could objectively say he doesn’t deserve either accomplishment...and still sAy he’s not overrated In General.

But it is arguable his season has been overrated.

He’s 8th for vorp, 13 in bpm, and 5th in win shares.

He’s also 13th in defensive rating, 5th in defensive win share, and not even in the top 20 in dbpm

The 3 DPOY finalists really should’ve been Stifle Tower, Drummond, and Greek Freak, IMO.
