He’s averaging 10.5 ppg, 2.5 rpg and 1.5 apg as a presence in the Pirates backcourt already as a sophomore. As he shores up his 3-point shooting, look for him to improve as he’s already at 36 percent on the year.

Walker is an electric guard with a ton of upside in the Jordan High backcourt that’s having a productive 2021-22 campaign. He’s producing 12.3 ppg, 5.4 rpg and 1.6 spg as a presence in the backcourt for the Falcons as he looks to make an impact as a downhill threat and playmaker that flies around for rebounds.

He’s had solid production already for the Hornets, posting 10.4 ppg, 8.9 rpg and 1.3 spg as a presence on the boards and on the wing.
