Kemba Walker, PG, Connecticut: Now & Then NBA Comparison -Monta Ellis/Kevin Johnson. You could have made a valid case for Kemba as the Naismith Award Winner in college hoops this past season. He carried an average Huskies club to the top, leading them along such a special run I’ve never seen done before. Walker’s superb leadership ability is something champions are made of. While he showed excellent composure through tough situations, it was a well-balanced skill set on display which caught my attention the most.
Kemba is a legitimate mid-range threat and has blazing quickness to the cup. At times he is he cannot be guarded. Whether it’s getting to the bucket with laughable ease or scorching the nets with his shot, Walker is the most explosive scorer in this year’s Draft; and I’m a fan of Derrick Williams and Jimmer Fredette. The UConn superstar reminds me of Monta Ellis with his ability to score so smoothly and Parker with his unreal skill to drive. He has a rare, unique blend of balance in his scoring arsenal. He’s more of a scoring PG than Kyrie Irving, similar to Derrick Rose, without as much of the upper body strength and in-air body control; however, he’s just as sensational when in attack mode.
He exclusively lives at the line, and connects on his charity stripe tries at a tremendous rate. You can revolve your team around Walker’s talent and contend; he’s that much of a certified baller. Drafting him with a high selection has been labeled a risk; however, I rather draft Kemba higher than most (as high as #2) because he will bring more power (think: power=wins) with his game at the guard position than a Williams will ever do with his power at the forward spot. It’s becoming more and more of a point guard’s league, and Walker is more of a special player than Williams. He will change a game and a team around more than any other player in this upcoming June’s Draft, with probably the exception of Kyrie Irving.
