Jaylin Walker has picked up right where he left off after last season’s Mid-American Conference Tournament MVP award.
Walker is leading the Kent State men's basketball team in scoring, averaging 17.3 points per game on 54.5 percent shooting, including 41.2 percent from three-point range, through Kent State’s first three games of the season.
Walker led Kent State (3-0) to another victory Sunday afternoon over Mississippi Valley State, 80-67. The 6-foot-1-inch guard scored 19 points on 8-for-15 shooting, including three three-pointers.
Walker said while he understands the bigger scoring role he needs to take on in the absence of Jimmy Hall, it’s important for him to get teammates involved as well.
