In this regard, let’s talk about an athlete who has been impressing many scouts: Kyree Walker.
Name: Kyree Walker

Class of 2020
Walker is a highly explosive player and has an impressive physical strength for a 15-year-old. He has been drawing attention of all journalists in the USA for his quality in infiltration and a good shot of middle and long distance. In addition to a great footwork and beautiful crossovers.
In AAU events in which he participates, he can demonstrate very well playing for the team. Usually players that age, focus on giving your “show” particular targeting a good future proposal for a university. In the case of Walker, he can stand very well alone and still give great assistance to his teammates. In many games playing for Oakland Soldiers (AAU), we saw him taking advantage of his crossovers to open space on defense and get well in the paint or find his free teammates.
An Arizona’s Finest Mixtapes analyst said: “He (Walker) is one of the best players of the 2020 class of the country. We know it is difficult to predict the future, but if he keeps progressing this way, the chance of it being one of the best athletes in the country is very large. And no matter where it will play. “
That Walker is a great player, we know. But it also has its flaws. Following the line of players from this class, it is weak when you have to score as fast and skillful players as he. At times, he seems lethargic in marking and suffers fools dribbles because chooses to go first on the ball.
But he does not lack at all in defense. When motivated, we see him make beautiful stumps, work efficiently in defensive rebounds and even force many turnovers opponents.
Kyree Walker debut this year in high school and you know you can read all about it and other players of all classes here, the first Brazilian site that talks about basketball in the American high school.
