Somebody stop me!
"Walker went on to have a
very strong, if not spectacular, season, and finished the year with averages of 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. His
best efforts came in the NCAA tournament when he scored 22 points (on 7-of-12 shooting) in a first-round upset of USC before he struck for 18 points (7-for-11 shooting) and six rebounds in a second-round loss to Wisconsin."
"I think the
injuries have helped his development as an all-around basketball player," Martin determined. "When he was recovering, it made him really not try to outjump and outrun everyone all the time because he couldn't for a while. He
took that time to learn how to utilize angles better to get to the basket and it made him a more productive player."
"Walker reportedly carried over some of those lessons to the pre-draft camps this spring. While scouts and draft gurus flocked to him hoping to see some of the dunks that had him bordering on schoolyard legend,
Walker dutifully displayed his mid-range game with jump shots that revealed an improved form and potential to better his 30.7 percent shooting clip from 3-point range (46.5 percent overall) this winter."
"
I have to earn my way in. They are not going to give me minutes just because of who I am. I doesn't matter when you get here. Everyone here is talented.
It's the work you want to put in and whether you are ready to dedicate yourself to help the team win. If I have to be a cheerleader, hey, I'll do that. I just want to win."
