Kemba Walker is the Unquestioned Leader of the Charlotte Hornets

Since being drafted by the franchise in 2011 with the ninth overall pick in the first round, Kemba Walker has worked and built himself into the unquestioned leader of the Charlotte Hornets. Only in his mid-20’s, Kemba has a veteran presence after five years in the league. The 6’1 point guard is a leader both on and off the court for the team from Buzz City.

After being drafted, many critics were questioning if Walker would be able to transition his game to the NBA level. One thing never questioned was his leadership ability which was evident during his time at the University of Connecticut.
