Walker is a tough, downhill guard who thrives as a primary option. He plays with confidence and pace, using his handle to get where he wants on the floor. Once he gets into the lane, he’s comfortable finishing or making the right read to set up teammates. His leadership and experience show in how he controls the offense, and he embraces the physical side of the game. Walker’s ability to set the tone will be key for VA Havoc this weekend.

is a guard that simply knows how to score the basketball. At 6’0”, he may not have overwhelming size. However, he compensates for it with skill, craftiness, and a strong feel for the game. He’s a polished ball-handler who does a great job getting to his spots and creating separation off the dribble.
Walker’s ability to control tempo is impressive. He plays at his own pace, making him effective against different types of defenders. He can score from multiple levels and has shown he can carry an offensive load when needed. Beyond scoring, he’s also a capable playmaker who can facilitate and make smart decisions with the ball in his hands.
He plays with an edge, too. Walker is a gritty competitor. He embraces the defensive side of the ball. He shows the ability to stay in front and apply pressure. His work ethic is evident. He’s a gym rat who continues to refine his game. That consistency is setting him up for a strong summer.
Running with VA Havoc on the Under Armour circuit, Walker has a real opportunity to elevate his stock. With his scoring ability and toughness, he’s a name that could quickly move from under-the-radar to must-watch.

Arguably the most intense game I watched this weekend was between Petersburg and Archbishop Carroll. Walker’s toughness matched that of Carroll’s talented backcourt as he brough a tough, physical presence in guarding the ball the full length of the floor. Anytime there was a 50/50 in his vicinity, Walker was in the mix battling and any competitive talk was met by Walker and backed with his play.
