Bill Walker, G/F, Kansas State
After putting Walker on the "Who's Not" list at the end of December, he's been on fire, averaging 22.5 ppg over his last five games. Walker's explosiveness is beginning to return and he's showing off a new and improved jump shot. Over his last five games he has hit 13 3s and is shooting 48 percent from beyond the arc.
The combination of Walker's elite athleticism and his improved shooting touch tantalizes every scout. The comparisons to Vince Carter are legit and Walker is beginning to show again why scouts had him ranked as a top 5 prospect in the draft before his ACL surgery last year.
If Walker can continue to produce at this level and find a way to share the ball with Beasley, he has a chance to shoot way up the boards. Questions about the long-term health of his knee may keep him out of the lottery, but Walker is looking more and more like a guy who could have his name called in the teens.
