Walker Kessler Hype & Appreciation Thread

I assume Walker has known that he wouldn't be playing a lot of minutes on this team. It must be disappointing, but he's still the first teammate to jump to his feet on his teammates' good plays. I'm not hoping for injuries for the team, but...
 
Walter got almost the same min he got last year. Almost all data are down, Poiints, Rebound. %.... he seems to play better recently and hope he will keep the good job.
But i think at that stage, comparing him to current Rudy is not fair. Second year for many players is more difficult than first ( Expectations, opponent know you more).
Plus Rudy will probably be in the top 2 for DPOY, Currrently i see only Kahwi able to compete with him. I don't like clippers but if Defense was valued as much as offense, MVP of the season should be Kahwi at that stage. A fantastic 2 sides player.

You cannot look at his early season numbers as he played through an injury for like 10 games and posted awful advanced numbers. Since taking time off and coming back, he has been even better than he was last year (at least in terms of consistency).

I think his struggles and its negative impact on our early season defense pushed some of the others to play better at that end, and also opened starting spots for Tech and Dunn. That sort of formed the current starting 5 we have, and they are playing better and better.

I agree with you. My whole point was to say that Walter and Rudy cannot be compare. At that stage they not boxing in the same category :)
 
When Walker learns how to not to be a liability on offense he can be very good.

At some point other teams are going to start intentionally fouling him. The Jazz offense is becoming that good.

Last 15 games (probably more) Kessler is #2 in the NBA in net rating of guys getting minutes and enough games. He is also #1 defensive rating with an amazing 103.3, just slightly ahead of gobert.

Walker has been absolutely killing it around the rim. With all our weapons we don't even really need offense from him, especially when he almost completely shuts down the paint.

Ya that could become a problem but isn't as of now.
When you are number #2 in net rating and number #1 in defensive rating than that means you are doing great. The weaknesses do not matter at this point
