Walker averaged 23.7 points per game last season before an invite to the  NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League with the New York Knicks. He averaged 6.3 points, two assists and 1.7 steals per game. Walker’s performance earned him a training camp invite with New York before being released prior to the start of the NBA season.
