Charlotte Bobcats jersey history No. 1 Kemba Walker 2011-2012

Former lottery pick Kemba Walker played eight seasons in Charlotte, wearing the No. 1 during his rookie season.

Kemba Walker, the former No. 9 overall pick from UConn, made his mark on the Charlotte Bobcats during his rookie season in 2011-2012. Donning the No. 1 jersey, Walker led the team with a stellar performance, averaging an impressive 19.8 points, 5.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game over his eight-season tenure in Charlotte.

Following his time with the Bobcats, he signed with the Boston Celtics in a sign-and-trade deal, which saw Terry Rozier join the Charlotte Hornets. Walker's career continued in Boston for two seasons before a brief stint with the New York Knicks, and he concluded his NBA journey with nine games for the Dallas Mavericks. Walker now serves as a player development coach for the Charlotte Bobcats and runs the Kemba Walker Sports Academy in Concord, North Carolina.
