Walker moved back to bench : Bobcats coach Paul Silas re-shuffled his rotation once again prior to Tuesday night's game against the Cavaliers. Silas re-inserted D.J. Augustin into the starting lineup, pushing rookie Kemba Walker back to bench. Walker, who had started each of Charlotte's last five games, finished with 20 points on 9 of 13 shooting from the field in the 103-90 loss. He also added two assists, one rebound and a steal to his stat line, while logging 24 minutes of game action. (Updated 04/11/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Silas continues to leave many Fantasy owners scratching there heads with the way he is using his players of late. Just 10 days after saying Walker would be the team's starting point guard moving forward, he changed changed his rotation once again. Walker will now come off the bench for the foreseeable future as Augustin will once again be the Bobcats' starting point guard. However, Walker should continue to see a healthy amount of minutes over the final few weeks of the season, so owners should feel free to leave him active in the majority of formats moving forward. (Updated 04/11/2012).
The Bobcats used the ninth selection in this year's NBA Draft to select Walker out of Connecticut. Walker averaged 23.5 points during his final year with the Huskies but will most likely start out on the bench for Charlotte. The 21-year-old will likely have to beat out D.J. Augustin and Gerald Henderson for minutes but could work his way into the starting lineup at some point. His value will be highest in keeper formats, although we recommend a late-round investment in him in seasonal formats. (Updated 8/28/11)
