Kemba Walker on the one thing he needs to improve: 'Always my defense'
In an interview with ESPN's Zach Lowe, Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker was his most honest self, revealing several interesting things you don't normally hear a professional athlete say.
When asked about what he thinks he can stand to improve the most, Walker didn't mince words:
Walker is averaging 16.8 points and 5.2 assists per game. Defense is an issue, but Walker's offense has finally started to turn around. He's shooting 37.3 percent from behind the three-point line and 43.4 percent from the floor.
If he can maintain those numbers, it'll be a huge step up from previous years.
Give me one little thing you're really focusing on this season -- one thing you've noticed on film, maybe a little subset of defense or something. Always my defense. Coach Cliff [Steve Clifford] always wants me to be a pest defensively. That's one thing I always want to be better at. I think I'm doing a pretty good job of being more consistent with my ball pressure and my defensive intensity.
