UConn in the NBA: Kemba Walker is Amazing

UConn fans know and love Kemba Walker and his greatness very well, but it took some time for fans of the NBA to see it. Entering the league as an undersized guard picked 9th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft, he was doing well, averaging around 17 points per game from his second to fourth seasons.

In his fifth year, he brought that up to 20 points per game while significantly improving his shooting percentages as well. In year six, he made the All-Star game and last year, in his seventh season, he made it two All-Star nods in a row after averaging 22 points and 5.
