Walker has always been a part of successful teams
is over. He averaged 8.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game across four outings for the blue and gold. His defense was solid, but his efficiency was wobbly.Next up for the rookie is the regular season, and Indiana kicks things off on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. It will be the first chance for Walker to show what he can do in games that count, though his spot in the rotation is still not known.
"I wouldn't say I write them down, but I definitely keep them in the back of my mind. And I mean, for this year, I feel like the biggest thing is just making the playoffs," Walker said of his goals in a recent interview withWalker has always been on a winning team. He noted that from AAU play, to high school at IMG Academy, to college at Houston, his teams have always been successful. He hopes to continue that with Indiana.
That's what happened in the NCAA ranks. Walker's Cougars went 33-4 and were a top seed in the NCAA Tournament. The now-Pacer won the American Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Rookie of the Year award and received several more honors. That's a path he hopes to copy in the NBA, though it will take time.
