Lonnie Walker white suit at NBA Draft and his outside interests

There has been a lot of coverage this week about Lonnie Walker’s personality. On Thursday night Walker wowed with a white suit. Walker is one of the most eccentric and articulate players that will be selected in the 2018 NBA Draft.

Walker had at least a half-dozen interviews this week about his eccentric interests outside of basketball. Miami Head Coach Jim Larranaga said that when he was recruiting Walker they talked about far more than Basketball. The norm for the other recruits was to discuss hoops.

Some of the topics Walker discussed during interviews were the ethical treatment of dolphins in captivity, whether or not the earth is an illusion and if the moon landing actually happened.
