Walker, a forward out of the Brooks School, impressed with his athleticism and defensive versatility. Walker first catches the eye pregame, with his above the rim athleticism and incredibly long frame. On the floor, he covers ground quickly, allowing him to be a presence in passing lanes and to erase shots around the rim from the help side. He’s a terrific rim runner in transition, has the ability to attack the basket as a straight line driver, and shows a willingness to operate as a ball-mover or screen in the half-court. His best basketball is clearly still ahead of him.

Walker controls the paint for Brooks, and when he goes to the bench they really struggle to rebound and defend. He’s quite active on the offensive and defensive glasses and has the ability to finish athletically when he gets the ball down there. The rest of his offensive game is still coming along, but he has another year to put it all together, and he’s already got the physical tools needed to play at the next level. Some improvements to his skill set – mainly shooting and creation/ball handling – would probably land him some scholarship offers.

Walker, a hybrid forward that plays for RI Elite, makes his way back to New England with a transfer to the Brooks School. He has some versatile tools on the offensive end of the floor, including an improved outside shot and strong cutting instincts off the ball. He’s a good finisher with either hand around the rim and does a good job of tracking and pursuing offensive rebounds. Defensively, he makes good reads from the back line and is disruptive in passing lanes. He can guard in the post with his strength, but also has the lateral mobility to defend on the perimeter. He’ll be an interesting prospect to track over the next year and could eventually land on the radar of scholarship programs.
