This could be a steal. 46.5% FG percentage. He combined with
Beasley for 42.3 ppg average in 07-08. "A three-year starter at North
College Hill High School, Walker was rated the sixth-best prep player
in the country by Rivals.com and ranked eighth by Scout.com. Both
services rated him the second-best small forward in the nation."

Some projected him as a lottery pick before the knee injury. This is
a good roll of the dice, particularly since he was healthy in his
senior year. They say he isn't as explosive as he was before, but he
is returning to form. When your only risk is cash this move makes
sense.
