Kemba Walker believes in playoff push

Charlotte Bobcats star Kemba Walker has insisted that the franchise should be aiming for the playoffs rather than looking at another high selection in the next Draft.

The Bobcats are currently at 22-28 for the season and have a two-game lead over the Detroit Pistons for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

"I don't see why we can't make the playoffs. I think we have a great team and are playing great basketball. As long as we keep it up, I think we can," Walker said, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Charlotte could have as many as three first-round picks by June 26 depending on where they finish this season.
