After a dismantling 30 point loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the Bobcats could use a little superman of their own.
With Panther fans still buzzing about their on rookie’s incredible season, Bobcat fans wish they could say the same in hopeful prospect Kemba Walker. Since Walker was drafted in the first round to the Bobcats, he has averaged a little over 20 minutes per game; less than 10 points per game, and barely 3 assists.
Although most rookies career debuts do not start or finish as decorated as Newtons did for the Panthers, Bobcat hopefuls foresaw Walker contributing just a little more than he has. With just 6 points in over 20 minutes tonight against the Hawks, Walker was nowhere near rookie of the year like in his performance.
Although Walker is a 6th man at best for the Bobcats, they need to find a new and improved spark from someone. The Bobcats return home to face a struggling 3-9 Detroit Pistons team tomorrow. With the likes of Cam Newton and teammate Steve Smith sitting courtside, maybe the Bobcats can find a little of Newton’s beginners luck.
Is asking Walker to lead the 2-10 Bobcats too much to ask for?

Yes I think that is a bit much to ask from a rookie that minutes are inconsistent and never get to play with some of the starters for even get an assist. the coach doesn’t know how to use him. Everyone have a roll on the team and his roll is a PG not a shooting guard. give him a chance and he will show up! What can he do when the coach let him play when the team is already down by 10-14 points? Came Newton is great but at the end of the day its about winning and the panthers record wasn’t that great! The team will be better next season just like the bobcats will be.
