ESPN Player Evaluations
Walker really likes to get up in the offensive player and put serious pressure on the ball. She also has a lot of shake in her game for her size. She loves attacking the basket and once she has her mind set on it she quicks and muscles her way into the paint. She is incredibly fast with and without the ball and she sometimes gets off balance because she is moving so fast but she can sky to the rim and snatch a rebound, then start and finish the break all by herself.
She has a world of potential based on size at 6-foot-1 and athleticism alone. She has so much explosiveness. Learning when to use it and when to let the game come to her is the next evolution as she has a habit of taking the ball into traffic that is set.
