Was an early entry candidate to the 2020 NBA Draft.
The move was more or less expected as Walker wasn’t projected to be drafted. Walker transferred from Florida State and in his first season with the Buckeyes averaged 8.7 points, 3.5 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game in a starting role.
Walker is expected to retain the starting point guard spot next season for Ohio State.
