2013 Recruit: Chris Walker


What can I say about Chris Walker?


Chris Walker is one of the most athletic big men in his class who can run and gun with the best of the best. At 6’9 he has athleticism oozing from him. After watching many videos and highlight reels of Chris Walker I can see why he is top 10 in his class. He has the shot blocking ability of Nerlens Noel, and can get down the court as quick as Ty Lawson. Although he just finished his junior season in high school I feel that he could be a huge star in his freshmen year in college. He pushes himself every moment trying to grab every rebound dishes it to the guards then it’s off to the races. He will beat everyone down the court for the break away dunk. He has developed some solid post moves solidifying his presence in the post. He has also recently received an invitation to the Jordan Brand Classic showing how far he has come and how much further he has to go.


If I could offer any type of advice to Chris Walker is to be relentless. Go hard on the court, in the gym, and in the classroom. Most players get bored with competition around them and you can see them start to slack off and just rely on their talent. If Chris Walker keeps up his relentless attitude and is going 110% all day every day, then there will be nothing this guy cannot do. I would compare Chris Walker to Perry Jones of OKC. Both are lengthy players who know how to score. They may be a little on the small side, but that doesn’t affect their game at all. Now where ever he decides to go all that we can hope for is that the school is the best fit for him and that he will prosper in the program he chooses. Overall I think the talent in these players in the past few years has grown tremendously and we are seeing some future stars in the making. Just got to keep your eyes open for anything and everything. 
Now here is a little video of the raw talent Chris Walker has...
