Kemba Walker joined the Boston Celtics from the Charlotte Hornets during free agency

Due to his lack of help in Charlotte, Kemba Walker has had one of the NBA's highest usage rates over the past few seasons. Nevertheless, following his move from the Hornets to the Boston Celtics, Walker will see less of the ball as he shares the floor with the likes of Jayson Tatum.

Nevertheless, speaking after the Celtics' practice on Tuesday, Walker revealed that he is looking forward to getting more open looks:

I’m getting a lot of different shots as well, but I’m loving it, not having not do so much all the time. Hopefully my usage rate might be going down a little bit. It allows other guys to make plays and I can appreciate that for sure.

Last season with the Hornets, Walker averaged 25.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game.
