1. Kemba Walker

When the Bobcats selected Kemba with the ninth overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft, they envisioned him as a long-term fix at the point guard position. Walker had a major improvement from year one to year two, but he has yet to elevate his game in his third season. His shooting percentage is 41 percent and his assist-to-turnover ratio of 2 ranks toward the bottom of the NBA for point guards.  At this point, I think its fair to say what you see is what you get when it comes to Kemba. He might not develop into an All-Star caliber point guard, so it might be time to re-evaluate his role. Personally I’ve compared Kemba to fellow teammate Ben Gordon. In his prime, Gordon was the best sixth man in the NBA. I believe Kemba’s built to be an elite sixth man in the league.
