Now officially an All-Star Game starter — thanks to his tremendous 2018-19 campaign thus far — the 28-year-old point guard is currently averaging a whopping 24.7 points per game. He is also putting up 4.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 34.3 minutes per contest.

Spending his entire NBA career as a member of the Hornets, Walker was originally selected by the Eastern Conference franchise with the ninth overall pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft. Over the course of 571 regular season appearances and 526 starts as an NBA point guard, Walker has averaged 19.4 points, 3.8 boards, 5.4 assists and 1.3 steals.

As a whole, the Hornets have remained in the middle of the pack in the East standings. Currently sitting in eighth place in the conference, the 23-25 Hornets have gone an even 5-5 over the course of the team's last 10 games. A thorn in their side thus far, though, Charlotte has produced an underwhelming 7-17 record on the road this season.
