Walker Kessler Hype & Appreciation Thread

On the contrary, IMO his technique is the biggest problem (although we all know he does have confidence issues). For one thing, his release point is absurdly high. He doesn't get any rhythm into his FT's.

His shots look like they're always lined up pretty well, but he's either leaving them way short or trying to dent the back iron. It's almost like he's quessing. Essentially, Walker shoots free throws like a guy who's never taken a jump shot in his life.

His arc changes a lot shot to shot.
 
Walter is down this year. All date are worst then first year except block. He is a great defender but need to regain confidence in shooting. He is young, second year is always tough so i'm confident he can do it. But on my opinion he will always remain a lower version of Rudy. Not because he is less talented because he is much more but because of amount or work he put in.
He is too soft where Rudy work like hell to become what he is because he perfectly know he got less talent than many others. Time will tell.

He got his open dunks handed to him on a silver platter last season because defenses didn't give a crap about him. Walker has never been able to score against any type of physical defense. From the stripe he was just as bad last year.

Yes i agree. Thats what i say second year is always more difficult because opponent know your game and adjust. I just think oveall Walter miss the fighting spirit Rudy have.

Yep, last season defenses didn't give a crap about him. This year the defenses realized how great he is offensively and are now gameplannning to stop kessler from having those huge scoring outbursts he was having last season.

That's not it

He just doesn't have an elite PNR PG anymore. That's what he has to have to be useful on offense.

Rudy had a nastiness to him that Walker does not have.

Like the last two games Walker had had really nice highlight plays he should be talking some ****. Peacock a little bit. Remember when Rudy would flex on people or salute?

I know you have to be yourself, but Walker displays his emotions when bad stuff happens by sulking and shaking his head, he can do it when he does good stuff as well
 
Kesslers last 5 games:
18.4 minutes (needs to increase)
75% from the field
80% from the line (8-10)
6.6 rebounds
3 blocks
9.6 points

Per 36 last 5 games:
Over 18 points, over 12 rebounds and 6 blocks per game.

Kessler is at 4.2 blocks per 36 for the season. He would almost certainly lead the league in blocks per game if he were getting enough minutes. Even at his only 23 minutes per game he is damn close to leading the nba in blocks (kessler averages 2.7 per game and the league leader is at 3.1)

His free throw percentage this season is now better than last season. Blocks too.
