steady, defense-first Ohio State guard with veteran poise
CJ Walker is the kind of guard coaches trust: a tough, low-mistake playmaker who brings defense, composure, and leadership more than empty box-score flash. In his Ohio State run, he posted 8.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 107 assists, and 40 steals in the 2020-21 season, showing real value as a connector and on-ball defender; ESPN also lists him at 7.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists overall for Ohio State. He is a fit for teams that want a reliable table-setter who can organize offense, guard the ball, and compete with energy every possession.[6][4]
