Kemba Walker posted the first triple double of his collegiate career in Connecticut's 94-61 victory over Maryland-Baltimore County. Walker had 24 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists on the night, shooting 9-for-13 from the floor and 2-for-3 from distance. Walker came into Friday's game averaging 30.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game for the undefeated Huskies. Source: Real GM Staff Report Dayum, kid is lookin like the real deal.
Junior against D2-quality teams = video-game like stats. He had the option of scoring 50 or getting his first career triple double. He chose the latter.
To be fair he was the #14 prospect by Rivals out of high school. He underperformed his first two years. Here's the top 20: 1. BJ Mullens 2. Jrue Holliday 3. Demar DeRozan 4. Brandon Jennings 5. Scotty Hopson* 6. Tyreke Evans 7. Al-Farouq Aminu 8. Greg Monroe 9. Samardo Samuels 10. Willie Warren 11. Devin Ebanks 12. Chris Singleton* 13. Ater Majok* 14. Kemba Walker* 15. Ed Davis 16. Elliot Williams 17. Ty Walker* 18. Terrence Jennings* 19. William Buford* 20. Tony Woods* * - still in college I take that back, it looks like Walker was actually appropriately ranked given the people right around him are still in college. He'll declare this year--if there's a draft.
So far this season, Kemba Walker is the player of the year running away. He has pretty much single-handedly taken UConn from middle of the Big East pack to the top of the conference. Hence the Huskies moving from unranked to #9 right after the Maui.
Other PGs have been effective at about the same height. CP3, Brandon Jennings, Tony Parker, Rajon Rondo, Raymond Felton.
He's a SG in a PG's body... I love the guy, but he has Aaron Brooks written all over him, and this isn't what this team needs!
all of those guys are above 6' Kemba is 5'10 at best. Still, that doesn't take away from his abilities, he's nasty.
