Kemba Walker

SPORTING GOODS

I don't know how I missed this, but UConn's Kemba Walker will graduate this summer. He's still got a year of eligibility left, but may not return. Even though St. Jim says of his All Big East guard,

"Everybody is telling me that [it's important] to find quickness at the guard. There aren't too many quicker than him. … The NBA is looking for a competitive, quick point guard who can defend, run, lead the fastbreak. He's all those things. And he's automatically an addition to your team just because he loves the game,"

I just wonder how many NBA teams might be interested in a six foot guard who's a better shooter than point. I still think he's got a few things to prove in college—like leading a team to a better than 4-6 record in its last ten games—but I can't entirely disagree with Calhoun when he says "right now he sees no reason for Walker to return."
