Paris Walton Paris Walton 6'6" | PF/SF IA was one of the most unique forwards I saw play at this event. His profile as a prospect hinges on his athletic verticality and powerful strength. Paris searches for contact and finishes through it like no other. The way he was able to absorb collisions and power up and through them was truly special, as no amount of hard contact deterred his finishing abilities. Around the rim, his touch and balance were also special, which made him an extremely efficient and effective interior scoring force. Couple that with his dominance and proficiency as a rebounder, and you have a truly supreme around-the-rim technician. All of these tools he flashed on offense translated to the defensive end as well. Using his verticality and size, he blocked many shots and provided great rim protection, while also keeping opponents off the defensive glass with his impactful box-outs. And his strength and fluidity made him one of the most versatile defenders I saw play at this event, as he could guard about any player that was switched onto him and suppress their production with ease.

Walton is a long wing who can guard just about any position at the high school level. Like Bowen, he has the prototypical build of an impactful wing defender with his frame, length, and athletic ability. He has some two-way ability as a 3-and-D wing who shot it really well off the catch.
