Scouting Report
A 5-star-recruit and McDonalds All-American coming out of high school, the son of Lonnie Walker III received offers from Arizona, Kentucky, Syracuse, and Villanova before deciding to sign at Miami. With one season of college basketball and tons of scoring upside under his belt, he declared for the 2018 NBA draft where he got picked by the San Antonio Spurs at number 18.
Walker's first year in the league mostly consisted of G-League assignments. Gregg Popovich must have liked what he saw from him during that period, as Lonnie became a regular in the Spurs rotation for the following three years.
