Haven't seen him play, but seems a bit underwhelming statistically in terms of rebounding for someone 6'5 with a 6'11 wingspan:

Who will be the superior Walker?

I do like how he hit 12/12 3PT in a game once though.

The Perth Wildcats are thrilled to announce the signing of sharp-shooting American, Devondrick Walker.

A rising star on the global basketball stage, Walker has gone from strength to strength to become hot property this off-season.

At 196cm, Devondrick Walker is a highly athletic wing with an impressive 99cm vertical leap, but his outstanding perimeter shooting is what caught the eye of Wildcats scouts.

"He can handle the ball, he can get to the basket, he has the ability to push the ball in transition, but the fact that he can knock down that three-point shot is the big tick for us," said assistant coach Adam Forde.

“In terms of fit, he will free up Bryce and the rest of the team to create, and gives us another weapon on the perimeter.”

Walker represented the Utah Jazz at the NBA Summer League competitions in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City.

In Las Vegas, he averaged 9.8 points per game in just 20.0 minutes of court time, putting him in the top 21 per cent of players in the tournament.

The 25-year-old earned his Summer League opportunity after being named the Most Improved Player of the NBA Development League for 2017.

At January's D-League Showcase, Walker put on the greatest shooting display the event has ever seen, going 12-for-12 from downtown - hitting 15 of 18 shots in 49 minutes, over two games.

He spent his most recent season playing for the Delaware 87ers in the NBA D-League, averaging 12.5 points and shooting at over 40 per cent from beyond the arc and 45.5 per cent overall.

He also picked up 2.9 rebounds per game.

Previously, Walker spent time with the Westchester Knicks and the Austin Spurs – where he played with 2017 Grand Final MVP, Bryce Cotton.

Devondrick Walker is from Garland in Texas and attended college at Texas A&M University-Commerce.

He will arrive in Perth next month.

Interestingly, he played for Utah in the summer league.

This morning there was an NBL interview with 36ers GM. He said he was interested in players sitting next to Sobey and Creek on the bench.

Theory - Wildcats outbid D-von from the 36ers like they did Jaron Johnson from Cairns last season.

I doubt that's who adelaide were after since they have pretty much signed Ramon Moore

I think it was Julian Wright that he was referring to...

No email again. Sigh... is it really that hard?

Deadly shooter ala Webster but defensively not at Prather's level. Not yet anyways.

I think we need to build on this latest signing by getting maximum value from the last, so I'd suggest someone like Tyronehemiah Sharpeters or maybe Jefferyleigh Williamcmasterscott

Just purely going off stats, it seems Walker is not the attacking slasher than Prather is.

Most of Walker's shots are outside and he goes to the line less than 2 times a game.

Prather's attempts are mostly inside and goes to the line 6 times a game.

But this guy seems to be a more reliable outside shooter of course.

Looks good, at least will have a few snipers. Need some high flying action to get the crowd going. Interesting to see how they go in the c position? Overall looks like a competitive roster.

I got the notification over Facebook messenger hence why they put out all the info about signing up to it for player announcement.

Wildcats will spend big on their big.

They have no one that demands a double team? I have a feeling Cotton may demand a double team. Trying to defend him in the pick and roll with dw spreading the floor will be a nightmare.

Cottons skillet in reality was probably harder to replace than prather, that sounds like it undersells prather, make no mistake he was amazing.

Yes especially on the fast break. Prather's finishing was very good. He also developed his Euro step.

It remains to be seen whether this guy can do it.

They won when Ennis and Prather could push on the fast break. They lost when there was a drop in Fast break points when Daniels had no confidence on the drive nor the finishing skills.

Is Dazz back as an anon?

I was thinking the exact same thing!
