Walker might have been was the biggest all-star snub in 2015-16 as the fifth-year pro turned in the best season of his blossoming career. He scored a career-best 20.9 points per game, setting new career highs in true shooting percentage (.554), effective field goal percentage (.495), offensive rating (112), win shares (9.9), rebounding (4.4) and three-point shooting (.427).
Kemba also maintained a nearly 5:1 assist to turnover ratio—leading the Hornets to their first playoff victory since 2002. Walker was simply sensational in the seven-game series against the Heat, taking over in crunch time and nearly willing Charlotte to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
