David was one of my favorite players to watch this past weekend, as he is very skilled and is an extremely hard worker. He has a strong 6’5” frame and is able to play either of the wing spots well. He is very athletic, as he threw down three dunks in the two games I watched on Saturday. He has a very quick first step and was converting on some very tough finishes around the basket. Walter is also a threat to shoot it from the perimeter off the catch.

Walter has already turned heads and he is only a sophomore. David has a high-arcing, soft, and accurate stroke from beyond the arc that defenses can’t afford to leave unchecked. He’s dangerous in the open court, pushing the pace with speed and thriving in transition where his athleticism really pops. Physically, he’s well-built for his age and plays with a confidence that shows he’s no stranger to varsity-level success. With a track record of splashy scoring nights already under his belt, Walter is a proven threat who looks primed for even bigger things ahead.

Walter has got longer and more athletic since a year ago. He propped up to 6’4” and can run and jump. He has some upside in him, because he can still develop his three-point shot. He’s a varsity starter and difference-maker that just scored 28 points in a win over Bridgewater-Emery.

18 points 10 rebounds for the Freshman in Freeman’s three-point win over Irene-Wakonda. Walter is ascending and will be ranked highly in the 2028 rankings update.
