Only big 12 school with two sure fire lottery picks on the team! eom

Good point.  Another way of putting it is that NBA teams feel they increasingly know more about your potential the longer you play in college.  After next season, Walker will still only have had one year of college play.  This means that the factor of potential will still be pretty high.

Maybe a first rounder but definitely not a lottery pick. Walker will not be a 2 in the nba because of his shooting and skill level and he is not big enough to play a 3. I predict he will he will have a somewhat difficult time in the nba because he is kind of a tweener, an athletic as hell undersized 3. There aren't many 6'4" 3's in the nba. jmo 

Jesus Christ our players keep shrinking.  By the time the season starts we won't have anyone over 6 ft.

Walker would not have been a lottery pick out of high school. And he is a lot closer to 6"4" than 6'6".

Well, if Walker is only 6'4" and 1st round non-lottery pick, it seems that we have all been duped and should have rallied around Wools.

How much closer?  is he like... 6'4 2/5" ?  or is it more like 6' 4 7/8"?  Exactly how tall is he?

Sorry guys, don't know the exact length of Walker.  Just have heard from an NBA scout about that and also my previous comment on his position/drafting/etc.

Sorry guys, don't know ...

You're right nancat, I think I just got that Walker was listed as a lottery pick, or ranked in that position by NBADraftExpress, or one of those sites that ranked players.  I'm sure you know better.
