Kemba Walker

While Nick Young had a solid showing, it was a heck of a night for Charlotte’s Kemba Walker. The up and coming star that has helped but the Hornets back on the map finished in third place overall at the contest.

Finishing behind Kyrie Irving and Eric Gordon, Walker still manged to tally 19 points in the first round before getting 17 in the final go around.

Once the weekend is finished, he’ll get back to work on trying to make the Hornets a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference. With the usual juggernauts of Toronto and Cleveland, Charlotte still has plenty of work to do, even to get past Washington and Boston.

They could get there, though. If they do, Walker will be a big reason why.
