Draft Ratings: B+ C+ D C C C
Pros:
Walker is an athlete, to say the least, but, more than that, he can score in bunches. His athleticism allows him to dominate at lower levels, getting to the basket almost at will, where he has decent touch to finish the drive off. Solid rebounder, though not anything to write home about. He has three point range on his shot.
Cons:
His Outside game is a bit iffy, he isnt a great free throw shooter, and while he has three point range, his ability to hit the three point shot is underwhelming. Walker is a poor passer, and does take care of the ball well at all, which makes him a very iffy player at SG. Walkers defensive game is a work in progress to say the least...there may not be anything to work with either, as his desire to be a good defender is questionable. Poor Bladder control...may have to piss during the middle of a game, so keep some extra towels handy. Also, there are worries about Walker, as he has suffered a Torn ACL not once, but twice in his career...an injury that can hurt a primarily athleticism based player quite a bit,
Outlook:
Not great, while Walker can definitely put the ball in the basket, and will possibly win a dunk contest or five, his overall game lacks polish, and injuries have hindered the potential that he has to get better. He really is not a great player outside his ability to dunk the ball and get inside, poor handles, a meh outside game, poor defense mean that it would appear at best he is a scoring spark off the bench, or maybe a lead option for a tanking team, since his scoring will be offset by his lack of defense and weak defensive game. Taking Walker is a big risk, one that really only a late first round team or early second would be willing to take.
Best Case Scenario Ratings:
A B- D+ C+ C+
More Reasonable:
A- C+ D C+ C
