Scouts questioned if Kemba Walker is a pure point guard, something he doesn't have an issue or concern with.
“I’m a 1 - there’s no question that I am a point guard,’’ said Walker. “I can just score the basketball, that’s it.
“Why can’t I do both? Why can’t I do everything? Pass, score, rebound. That’s what I have been doing my whole life. I’m an all-around player.’’
Walker hasn't had the normal rookie experience of summer league and training with his new franchise.
“It’s been real difficult,’’ he said. “Of course as a rookie, I would love to be with my coach and my teammates.
“I am in contact with some of my teammates, but as far as the coaches, it’s a little frustrating. I would like to start learning new things about the NBA game.
“I’m just looking forward to whenever that time comes. It hasn’t yet [affected me] but it will soon.
“As rookies, we’re all real anxious to play basketball, to get things going. We came here to play basketball and this happened to us. But we’re going to stay strong until we get the best deal possible for everyone, and I’m just counting on my counterparts to do the best job for us.’’
