This guy in most mock drafts is projected to go round 7th or 8th. This is exactly the type of PG we need. A very good shooter who can actually play PG. 4 straight 30 point games. Im thinking he will keep rising and we will have likely no shot at him but if im cho.... this should be the blazers realistic target. Who knows if he comes out though. Hes got 1 more year left so maybe he stays but this kid would fit perfectly.
 
He's a great shooter? McMillan would let him into the Horse games with Babbitt, before the scrimmages start. No minutes in the scrimmages, though.
 
we are 8-6 with hornets and a long road trip coming up.

this season is done. walker should be target
 
I would prefer to watch the point guard canidates from this years draft before making a decision. I am not at all sure this is a good year for the PG crop out of college. In the past if PG were any good for the most part, they made some noise, and we haven't had anybody making noise yet. I'm in the wait and see mode. I want to see them play before deciding on if they are pursuing. This reminds me of a year where you get more "Mike Conley's" and no "Derek Rose's".
 
nik.... you know damn well we arent making the playoffs

Maybe (I'd say it's a 50-50 proposition at this point) but we're not going to suck badly enough to have a shot at this kid either.
 
well.... i think we could move up with that extra pick possibly.

...3 straight games of 30+ pts and so far, his points are up but his assists are down. His career percentages are not outstanding either so it should be interesting to see his year-end totals. He seems like another lil man SG that loves to shoot :dunno:
 
I don't think he's much of a true point guard. That may just be because he has to score a ton for his team to win though.
 
I've watched a lot of UConn games and Kemba really reminds me of a Ty Lawson/Jameer Nelson type of PG.
 
Best PG in college right now is Kyrie Irving hands down. He reminds me a lot of Paul in college.

Yea I had heard that too but haven't seen him play yet. They list him as a combo guard on one draft site, which scares the living shit out of me.

I don't think we have a 7th or 8th round pick this year...We might have to reach and take him in the 2nd round!
 
Kinda seems like Bayless in college, no?

Bayless was a pretty good shooter in college, great scorer, athletic, PG, defender, about 6'3.

I've watched him 3 times this year and in McDonalds game last year. Nothing about him says combo guard to me.

Well he is going to be playing at the Rose Garden against the Ducks tomorrow night I think. So I might pick up a ticket and go down and see him live to get a sense of how good he is.
 
Okay, Kemba Walker has came down to earth. To me, he's just an undersized chucker.
 
i was just saying the same thing the to my uconn buddy. he looks like a poor mans ellis all of a sudden.

and uconn has also come CRASHING back to earth.
 
Walker just doesn't impress me. He's been shutdown so far in this game against Louisville. The 5'8" Peyton Siva has basically kept him in check the entire game so far. He's 2-8 with 1 of those shots a prayer bankshot 3. Imagine what he's going to be like against NBA guards.

He was just hot at the beginning of the season. Dude has come back down to earth drastically.
 
Screw Kemba Walker or any PG in the first round. Sign Josh Wilson from Hungary/NAU this summer.

He's the next Steve Nash. He only needs a chance!

I take it you forgot the green font?
 
anyone paying attention to walker now?

i posted this is december originally.
 
When we miss playoffs. Package Wallace and oden to draft walker. Wallace doesn't fit. We need a scoring pg badly that can shoot.
