#8 Kemba Walker

Toronto Raptors v Charlotte Hornets
Kemba Walker

Walker has become one of the most underrated players in the league, probably because he plays for the always underachieving Charlotte Hornets. He's coming off a season where he averaged 22.1 points, 5.6 assists, and 3.1 rebounds a game. He was selected to the All-star game due to injuries to other players, but nonetheless, he is an all-star talent.

In my eyes, I see Walker as a second-tier point guard, just a tier below point guards like Curry, Westbrook, and Lillard. He's had three consecutive seasons of averaging 20+ seasons, but similar to Drummond he hasn't had much team success which is why he isn't as highly regarded as some of his peers. Hopefully, the Hornets will either trade him to a playoff contender or they adjust their roster to help Kemba make a run in the playoffs.
