Kalin Lucas, then Ty Lawson or his man Corey Fisher await. Is Kemba ready?

Walt Frazier would probably call this move, "the silky and the smooth up and the under for the kid from the Grand Con-course!"

Last April, we had four HS seniors come into our offices when they were in New York City for the Jordan Brand Classic. One of 'em was Kemba Walker; you can watch the completed video we made with him here. Couple of cool notes from the "vid:" (a) he says he went to UConn partially to play with Thabeet (that worked out well) ; (b) he grew up in the same neighborhood as Corey Fisher, who he could be playing Monday night if 'Nova dumps UNC; (c) he says he's the best PG from NYC ever. Last part's laughable, right? What happens if he wins a title? Heck, Kenny Anderson and Mark Jackson don't have NCAA rings, either.
