Jordan Walker is in the midst of the busiest year of his life. The 23-year-old guard from the University of Alabama-Birmingham helped lead the Dragons to the NIT Championship game in March, signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Dallas Mavericks in June, played in Summer League in July, and became a father for the first time just days ago.
Despite everything already happening this year, there’s still more to come. Walker, who goes by the nickname Jelly*, will compete for a roster spot during training camp and preseason with the Mavericks this fall.
