Because of some bizarre decisions, Kemba Walker is nowhere near as known as he should be. The Charlotte Hornets had no franchise player, but Kemba Walker elevated himself to be that. He did so, while they were hoping Al Jefferson would fill that role.
Kemba Walker proved what an effective star he could be, during the 2016 season. That was the only year he had a competent backup point guard. It’s no coincidence that Kemba led the Hornets to nearly 50 wins, that year, and it’s been tough going, ever since.
Last season, the Hornets got off to a strong start, but ended up falling apart. Before that, Kemba Walker was chosen for the All-Star Game, making up for 2016’s snub, as he continued elevating his play. But, with the pick of Goran Dragic, fans believe Kemba Walker, and the Sixers’ Ben Simmons, were snubbed.
