Bobcats coach Paul Silas said of rookie Kemba Walker and current starting PG

D.J. Augustin, "Now we have to find a way to play them both together."

"In practice they're going to be going at each other," Silas said. We're projecting D.J. Augustin as the starter, but as beat writer Rick Bonnell noted, competition for minutes has undermined Augustin's confidence in the past.

I personally think this will work because Augustin is more of a distributor in my opinion and Walker is more of a scorer.

I know we arent Dallas but they created a lot of matchup problems when they played Kidd and Terry together(also Barea with one of those two created problems) so for some stretches, I wouldnt mind it.

Augustin, Walker, Hendo/Maggette, Thomas, Biyombo. Despite what some think, that lineup would have no trouble scoring and teams would have to rely on the 3s against us.

While that may be true, Kemba might have the ball more.

Kemba is better with the ball in his hands while DJ can spot up.

Yeah if we have that small lineup, a match-up zone might work best.

Before I post, let me say this: I am a HUGE DJ Augustin fan and have been since he got here. With that being said, I think Kemba will be at least as good, if not better, as a facilitator than DJ. He averaged 5.1 assists per game his sophomore season...and that was without great scorers to help. Last year he was called on to score, and while leading the nation in that category, he still dished out 4.5 assists per game. I see him being a 20 ppg, 7.5 apg guy when he takes over PG.

Those are Chris Paul type numbers.

:banghead:

Kemba played 41 games last year and only had 7 or more assists in 9 of those games despite always having the ball in his hands.

Guys, Kemba had zero (0) assists in the Championship game. He isn't a point guard.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
