Kemba has joined the Knicks this 2021-22 season on a great bargain deal. Kemba has spent his entire NBA career in Charlotte where guards weren't even given a formidable defensive scheme. You saw Kemba in the 4th quarter get a steal and try to help on defense? He has it in him to get make plays on both ends, however, expecting Kemba to be a force on defense is like expecting Jose Juan Barea to guard the perimeter defensively. We have to know our personnel and talent. He's clearly pass his "prime" but still is a good player.
One positive that helps this team, despite their rocky season in 11 games already is we have a PG who doesn't turn the ball over.
Kemba Walker currently in 10 games:
26 minutes
12.3 ppg
44% FG
45% 3PT
3.2 apg
3.0 rpg
1.2 spg to 1.4 turnovers (this is one of the best ratio's in the NBA right now)
Kemba hasn't driven to the basket because he's still "easing" back into full health.
Yesterday, Kemba driving had it's affect in the 4th quarter against Philly.
I believe once Kemba is settled, his ppg will go up to 15 ppg. Rose's PPG will go up as well.
LA Lakers have a far worse problem in Westbrook who's more expensive, doesn't play defense, and turns the ball over without being able to shoot.
We got Kemba at a bargain, so Kemba critics understand for 26 minute per game, we have an efficient low turnover PG who's obviously offensive sided but can make plays time to time. Kemba makes the game waaaaaaay easier for Robinson and Randle on offense. His range and pick and roll play is outstanding.
Knicks have a chance to creep up in the standings once we get McBride/Grimes into the mix. McBride can be the catalyst for a perimeter defensive guard without us gutting our roster for one.
Before anyone gives up on Kemba, give the man atleast 40 games to prove he's worth his contract. I believe we can win with the Kemba/Rose duo. Fournier needs to figure it out, despite him being a human turnstile, he can shoot the ball. We didn't have shooting did this good and it shows because Randle and RJ are getting more open and having more space to operate offensively.
RJ is our best player and Kemba is a great player for his growth. We haven't seen the best of Kemba yet, I hope everyone is open to giving him a second look than the bad games he had this season. His struggle is better than most's best season. When he comes back to form, we have a legit 15-18 sniper who doesn't turn the ball over. That's huge for us because it only generates more offense and lead us into top seed in the East. Peace.
