About Ben

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Player that understands X's and O's of the game and gets teammates actively involved - pass first mentality and guard the best player on the court. Offensively shoot the ball 41% from 3s, 50% from 2s and 87% from free throw line.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Overly competitive and hate to lose at any activity. Not overly verbal and lead by example of effort.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Member of National Honor Society

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Volunteer annually with Dress a Child - an event put on every year by Rotary Club to give clothing to under privileged children in the community. Volunteer with the Westwind Capital Foundation and various events they sponsor.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes, while participating in an elite camp in 2024 I was injured. That injury required surgery to repair ligaments in my ankle and I was out of basketball for 4 months. It was extremely difficult not to be around teammates and play in games. There were difficult times in recovery and rehabe but it taught me what a privilege it is to play basketball and how much I love the sport.

What type of college are you looking for?

Looking for the opportunity to continue personal growth as well as contribute to the team. Want to be with like-minded players that are willing to put in the work every day. Goal is to be a college coach in the future - this is opportunity to continue to learn from my coaches.

Walton provides his club teams with defensive versatility, given his lanky but wiry frame. His wide reach plays a role in disrupting passing lanes, crowding opponents from the help side. From the offensive end, he primarily looked to space the floor, certainly a threat from the catch. He is a malleable option, effective sliding into a wide variety of lineups given his ability to be impactful on both ends. Given ABC’s wide array of playmaking guards, his off-ball gravity has been essential to opening up the driving lanes of teammates. Over the past few months he has steadily improved his vertical pop, capable of getting up for one-handed dunks should the lane open up. Recently reclassifying to the 2027 class, Walton brings intrigue with another year of eligibility.
