EDGE Analysis

The Hornets put a cap on Walker's minutes for a third straight game, but he turned in his best outing of the preseason, shooting well from both the field and three-point range. The 26-year-old took a dramatic step forward last season with career-high averages of 20.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers per game, and he'll make for a trusty early-round target in fantasy drafts again in 2016-17.
