NBA Draft Preview (Part 5)

Four days until the 2011 NBA Draft, which means it is time to preview another potential lottery pick.  So it is time to look at the game of the 2011 Final Four's Most Outstanding Player, Kemba Walker.
  Kemba Walker is a 6'1, 184lb point guard from New York City, New York. He is considered to be the third best point guard in this draft class and played at Connecticut (Uconn) for three years before entering the draft. Walker led UConn to the 2011 NCAA National Championship by defeating Kentcuky in the championship and was a 2011 First Team All-American by United States Basketball Writers Association and was awarded both the Bob Cousy and Lute Olsen awards. This year, Walker averaged 23 points, four assists, and five rebounds a game.
 Strengths: Walker is an amazing scorer. Not only is he a respectable shooter who has a comfortable long and mid range jumper, but Walker knows how to attack the basketball with explosion and authority. He is also able to use both that explosion and his quickness to get past defenders and create high percentage shots with ease. He is also able to draw fouls easily with his attack, which is essential for NBA caliber scorer. Walker creates open shots for his teammates and knows how to control and lead a complicated offense (did so for three years under Jim Calhoun). For only being 6'1, Walker is a great rebounder. On the defensive side of the ball, Walker has an amazing quick step which is a good reason why averaged almost two steals a game this season. He rarely sits out in games and he has an endless drive when it comes to basketball. Walker is extremely dependable with the ball when the game is on the line. You want him with the ball because he can find a way to win the game.
Weakness: He is short for an NBA point guard, he is most likely shorter than his listed 6'1. Needs to bulk up as well if he wants to be able to handle himself in the league. Walker needs to stay in tune with the game from whistle to whistle and not get too emotionally involved which could cause him to put up unnecessary shots.
Overall Conclusion: Kemba Walker is a terrific scorer who reminds me of a Kobe Bryant like style. He is an offensive monster, who does more than just score. He has a strong will and will do whatever it takes to win, we need more players like this in the NBA. Although he is short, and might have too much passion at times, Walker is the kind of slasher scorer any team would love to have.
Kemba Walker will go?? I think Walker would be a perfect fit at the seventh pick to the Sacramento Kings. The Kings need a point guard, and more importantly a change in the franchise, so what better way to do that than draft Walker and put him along side Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins?
