Walker is arguably the best player to ever suit up for purple and teal, leaving the organization as the all-time leader in points (12,009), minutes (20,607), field goals (4,164), three-point field goals (1,283), and free throws (2,398). He officially retired from the game of basketball earlier this offseason after spending this past season playing professionally in Monaco.
