About Drake
Expert Analysis
Duvalier Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
Drake is a menace on the court that affects the game on both ends of the floor. He’s also arguably the most passionate player that the state offers as he leaves it all other there. We got to see that this summer on the ciruit, but also at a few different showcases. Fossil Ridge will be one of my darkhorse teams to win it all this season, and Walker is a big reason for that. He’s a scoring guard that reads what defenses gives him, he has stretches that he dominates and cannot be contained, and he also makes plays for those around him. He finishes well inside and can stretch the floor. He led the team in scoring as a junior with 12.8 points and I think he goes well over that this season. For a guy who is so locked in defensively, we want to see him be even more aggressive this year as he’s one of the state’s better defenders. He needs to be a guy who turns guys over more, pressures higher, and turns those defensive possessions into steals and points the other way. Once Drake starts to use his physicality to his advantage on both ends, it will only make the game that much easier. He’s a dog and truly one of the few that the state has – show that in EVERY single showing. He makes the rise in the rankings, but still think he is only scratching the surface of what’s to come.
