Former Romeoville prospect returned home to show how well he’s improved his skillset. Adam is super bouncy and likes to play above the rim. He had the best poster dunk of the day as he dunked over two guys trying to block his attempt. With one more year to go Walker can make some noise for himself playing in a competitive prep conference.

While it came in a narrow defeat to New Heights, Walker seized the opportunity with Durant missing some missing pieces in the frontcourt to showcase himself as a prospect with long-term high-major potential. In a game full of high-level prospects, he stands out amongst the rest with a top-end combination of size, length, and mobility as he patrols the paint and extends out to the perimeter on both ends. Walker has room to grow with his feel and technique, but makes a steady impact with his motor and physical tools while tossing in flashes of offensive skill. With his best basketball still ahead of him, coaches up to the high-major level could see value in Walker as a worthy long-term investment given the value of experienced bigs on the open market.

79 to 22…Walker is an agile and long power forward who averaged 8 points, 8 boards and 2 blocks per game as the fifth option in a Westtown starting five loaded with DI prospects.

Walker drained a few mid-range jumpers, including a couple nice fade-aways. He stepped out to the 3-point line and knocked down three triples too. When the final horn sounded, Walker and his stretch-4 skill set had posted 20 points.   

Looking to continue a storied lineage of Westtown bigs who have gone on to play at the highest levels, Walker is impossible to miss upon taking the floor with his striking blend of imposing length and graceful mobility. A transfer from Illinois, he covers ground with a natural fluidity that few his size can match as a relentlessly live body whether it be changing ends in transition or patrolling defensively in search of blocks. Blessed with rim protection tools for the highest levels, he really tantalizes with his ability to also chop his feet on the perimeter or recover out to shooters in space. While not the most traditionally skilled, he fits a modern mold with his ability to space the floor offensively both vertically as a lob threat and out to the arc with his burgeoning 3-point stroke. There’s a ways to go in terms of strength and ball skills, but Walker played his role to great effect for Westtown in the middle and figures to draw recruiting attention up to the high-major level with his enticing skillset and physical gifts.
