Walker is set to have a big season and based on his play there is a lot to be excited about. Walker has an understanding of the game beyond his classification. He is a three level scorer with a long frame and elite level size. He scored 18 points, in the win and did it all in the flow of the game. He knocked down a three pointer, but did all of his other work in the lane. He uses the mid range and floaters to score, and also made his way to the line by drawing fouls. Walker looked special in his first Varsity game of the season.
