Ty Walker | Power Forward | Wake Forest
Class: Freshman Height: 6'11 Weight: 215lbs High School: New Hanover High Hometown: Wilmington, NC College Stats |
Strengths: Excellent size, and leaping ability. Very soft touch around the basket, and he has good hands. Massive 7'6 wingspan and he is 6'11 w/o shoes. Allegedly he has a 9'5 standing reach, and more than a 35" max vertical which is great for a player of his size. Has a pretty nice looking face up jump shot out to about 15-18ft which he can consistently his in game situations. Has the ability to drive and kick, or take it hard to the rim. Very strong for his 220lbs frame. Very quick off his feet, and nice footwork allow him to get position, or block some shots. It's going to be very interesting to watch him at Wake Forest this season, because although he is still pretty raw, his potential is through the roof. He can play either PF or C in the NBA.
Weaknesses: As I stated above he is still a bit raw. He hit's his jumper consistently but sometimes gets lost in the offense deferring to others for the scoring load. Needs to develop more of a complete 40 minute a night game. He could stand to add about 20lbs of muscle if he's going to play the C position in the NBA. He needs to be more assertive on the floor and more vocal. He doesn't have much of an offensive game other than his jumper. He needs to develop more post moves, and back to the basket moves.
