Basketball junkie Rex Walters gets new start in NBA

Kansas basketball fans loved watching Rex Walters run the floor for Roy Williams in the early 90s. He was fun to watch. The 6-foot 4-inch guard helped lead the Jayhawks to the Final four.

As a matter of fact, Walters had a successful professional basketball playing career. He was a first round pick of the New Jersey. In addition to the NBA years with the Nets, 76ers and Miami Heat, Walters played some professional ball overseas.

I was happy he decided to try coaching. In the first place, he is the perfect candidate for a coaching job.
