25 games in, are we pleased with Kemba Walker? Thoughts?

[Who]

Delighted -- Kemba has been much better and more willing to play off the ball than I expected. Few high volume scoring PGs are as willing and as capable as Kemba has been off the ball. It has been huge for the team and particularly in unleashing Jaylen, Tatum and Hayward.

[Roy H.]

He’s exceeded pretty high expectations.

[Fierce1]

I want to see how Kemba does in the playoffs.

In the regular season, he's been excellent so far.

[BringToughnessBack]

Kemba was built to be in Boston. Passionate and easy to get along with. His performance has exceeded expectations. Beyond pleased that most of the drama has disappeared.

I am curious to see what playoff Kemba will bring. It is only at that time, we will get a true glimpse of what can and hopefully will be. I have a feeling it will be magical for years to come.

[ChillyWilly]

Kemba seems perfectly fit for Boston.

We'll see how I feel come playoff time  just like New England weather my feelings can change quickly

[droopdog7]

Not as talented as Kyrie but his game is a much much better fit.  Doesn't hog the ball, is equally good on and off the ball, and is low maintenance.

The perfect fit.

[mrceltics2013]

I just wish he had some help some games.

[Scottiej23]

Definititely better than I had hoped and expected.

Then again, he appears to be a better player than I thought he was. I seldom watch any games other than Boston, so I'd not seen an awful lot of him. He did impress last year when he torched us and Kyrie threw Brad under the bus.

I think he's slightly below Kyrie as far as an ability as an individual basketball player goes, but that is easliy negated by his willingness to be part of a team.

Sure, this is all somewhat meaningless until we see what he brings in the playoffs, but for now I am delighted with how it is working out.

and, he plays hard on defense, takes charges, better than I expected on that end.

[SHAQATTACK]

He’s exceeded pretty high expectations.

my thought too

[Celtics4ever]

Very pleased and team is fun to watch again.

Second best taker of charges since Big baby Davis.

[mctyson]

Kemba is nasty.  Always has been.  So long as he is healthy, he will continue to be nasty.  I want nasty on my team.

[Phantom255x]

Watching this team feels fun again. 100x better experience than last season, that's for sure

[Rosco917]

His personality is infectious. He's happy to be in Boston and Boston is happy to have him. For the better we have a team that actually likes and respects one another. And he is responsible for much of that.

He's a scoring PG in the modern sense of the meaning, and does it very well. Sometimes I'd like to see the ball find the open man more often. Like last night all the starters combined had 6 or 8 assists. I don't know how far that will take you against top teams in a playoff series.  I'd also like to see him receive more help on a consistent basis in the form of reliable efficiency.

But all in all, I'm pleased, he is about what I expected.
