C.J. Walker

Draft Notes

Walker is a highly athletic combo forward who was a 5-star recruit coming out of high school. He had somewhat of a quiet freshman season at Oregon and has now transferred to UCF.

C.J. is a plus athlete who makes plays on both ends of the floor. He’s a good leaper, has good overall quickness and he’s a guy who can guard multiple positions.

He’s on a good developmental curve, as he’s expanding his shooting range and becoming more of a complete offensive player.

C.J. is at his best using his athletic gifts in transition or slashing to the basket in the half court. He’s mostly a straight line driver who uses his burst to get past his man and into the lane.
