Summary:
Lonnie Walker is an athletic combo guard that can shoot and score the basketball in a variety of ways. He will need improve his ball handling and rebounding, and he will need to be a more consistent performer when he is on the floor. But as Walker could project to be a versatile scorer at the next level, he may have all the skills to end up being a solid player in the NBA if he can put his skills altogether.
