Walton is a very versatile forward who does many things well at both ends. His best asset is that he is a terrific passer, especially playing out of the high post. He can rebound at both ends and is around the ball a lot, and scores garbage points as well. He operates very well on the baseline and has improved his jump shot, including making mid-range fade-away jumpers with some consistency.
Walton is not a great athlete, and his position is a major question mark. Is he a small forward, and can he guard small forwards in the NBA? Is he a power forward, and can he consistently rebound with the stronger and more athletic post forwards? Walton also had an injury-riddled senior season, which did not help his stock.
Walton is likely a late pick in the draft, and will have to fight to make an NBA roster.
