Walker got off to a slow start before hitting a groove in conference play. With Bruce BRown struggling all season, however, it didn’t take long for Walker to establish himself as the Hurricanes’ best prospect.

At 6-4 with a 6-9 wingspan, Walker’s defensive tools and athleticism pop whenever you watch him. He does an excellent job of using his length to disrupt passing lanes and force turnovers.

That translates to the offensive end as well, where his athleticism makes him a dangerous off-ball cutter. If he can add more to his game off the dribble, Walker easily has lottery-level upside.
