Rookie Kemba Walker will draw his first NBA start in Saturday night's game against the Golden State Warriors. Coach Paul Silas inserted Walker into the lineup at point guard while moving power forward Boris Diaw to the bench. Diaw has just three points in his last two games. Walker, the No. 9 pick out of Connecticut in the NBA draft, is averaging 10.1 points and 2.8 assists. D.J. Augustin will slide over to shooting guard to accommodate Walker. Charlotte has lost six straight games heading into Saturday.
