Quite frankly, Kemba Walker was signed as an offensive weapon. The 3rd Team All-NBA point guard swapped Charlotte for Boston during the summer, filling the hole left by Kyrie Irving’s departure. In doing so, Boston obtained a guard capable of elevating the team in terms of both chemistry and skill level. Coming into this season, Kemba was one of the leading players in pick-and-roll usage and efficiency, killing teams with his ability to either pull up off the screen or get downhill and make something happen as defenses scrambled. His ability to finish around the rim and draw fouls while doing so is invaluable against teams that like to play a stern, physical type of defense.
