Kemba Walker has quickly endeared himself to Celtics fans, helping to lead the team to four consecutive wins after a season-opening loss.
As of Saturday, Walker is averaging a career-high 26.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game and shooting 92.7 percent from the free-throw line. During the past three games alone, he’s contributing 32.3 points per contest on 47.3 percent shooting, hitting 43.8 percent of his 3-pointers, and adding 6.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists a night.
In the process, he became the first Celtics player since Paul Pierce in 2002 to produce 30-plus points, six-plus rebounds, and four-plus assists in three consecutive games.
