Kemba Walker's uphill battle to improve his long range shooting

If Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets organization look back at history, they may find themselves pondering the decision to work on Walker's 3-point shooting percentages.

When Kemba Walker received a four year, $48 million dollar extension from the Charlotte Hornets this offseason, most fans and analysts considered it a fair contract. With the rising salary cap rising due to an influx of television contract revenue, the average price for a starting player should wind up around $10 to $14 million.

After a season of ups and downs, Walker again finished the season shooting below 40 percent from the field, a mark widely used to judge efficient or inefficient guards.
