Walker Kessler discusses how Auburn has exceeded his expectations
Walker Kessler transferred from North Carolina to Auburn this offseason, and Bruce Pearl and Tiger fans couldn’t be happier.
Now that the Tigers have started officially practicing for the 2021-22 season, Kessler said he’s been impressed with Auburn thus far.
This week, he said he feels at home in Pearl’s offense and Auburn has exceeded his expectations (via 247Sports):
“I knew that BP had a very stretch-big-oriented offense, and I loved being close to home,” Kessler said. “Then, as far as coming here, I knew it was going to be good for me, but I mean, it’s gone way higher than my expectations.”
Kessler said he enjoys stretching the floor and letting it fly from 3-point range:
“I pride myself on my ability to shoot and stretch the floor, so that’s really the biggest thing,” Kessler said. “And being a playmaker, being put in positions to make the offense better. … You know, it’s so important, especially at the pro level in this day and age.”
