M.J. Walker

Draft Notes

Walker is a solid SG prospect who has steadily improved over four seasons in college. He’s a good all around guard who plays both ends. He doesn’t standout in one area but does everything well.

Walker’s shooting has improved over the years. In his senior season he’s hitting over 44% from 3 and has upped his already good FT% to 85%. He’s not a high volume scorer but plays within the system and takes good shots.

Walker is a pesky on ball defender and has the strength and quickness to guard either guard position. He’s a high energy player who competes every possession.
