Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker set the NBA's record for most 3-pointers through the first three games of the regular season after burying 19 through the first week of action.

Walker scorched the Miami Heat with seven triples and is now shooting a blistering 19-of-38 from distance in the young season, as well as leading the league in scoring with an average of 35.3 points per game.

The Bronx native showed a propensity for the long ball in 2016-17, when he came a hair shy of knocking down 40 percent of his shots from deep. Despite slightly regressing last season (38.4 percent), Walker has been a consistent 3-point threat and his exploits have shown early this season, filling up his cup with plenty of long-range juice while powering the Hornets to a 2-1 record.

“I always felt that I’ve been always put under the radar,” Walker told The Associated Press. “Underrated, of course.”

New head coach James Borrego has put his absolute faith in Walker, allowing him the freedom of 76 field goal attempts in three games, with half of them coming from beyond the arc.

“Our team starts with him,” said Borrego. “He controls the game, but he also understands that he needs trust in his teammates. When he misses a shot, I want him to take the next one.”

The 6-foot-1 dynamo is now under the mentorship of Tony Parker, who came over from the Western Conference after 17 years with the San Antonio Spurs. During his short time with the four-time champion, Walker has already picked up plenty from the veteran floor general.

“Tony’s helping me read the game in a whole different light,” said Walker. “What to look for, what not to, he’s amazing with that kind of stuff. It’s an honor to have him around.”

Walker's scoring prowess is coupled with 5.3 assists per game, providing a smooth balance between his playmaking and deep-range artillery.
