Walter rose through the talent-rich Dallas-area high-school scene — McKinney and Link Academy — into a top-10 recruit and a productive one-and-done at Baylor. His scoring instincts and shooting stroke were his calling cards from an early age.
His on-court identity is perimeter scoring and shooting — a 6-foot-4 wing with catch-and-shoot ability and solid free-throw shooting who projects as a three-and-D piece. His rebounding and playmaking have been modest so far, but his outside shooting has held up, giving him a clear rotation role and a shooter's foundation to build on for Toronto.
