Lonnie Walker is a local kid, went to Reading High School up in the GREAT Berks County.

He spoke with the ESPN crew at the combine and had some… interesting things to say about the planet we’re currently living on:

Earth is an illusion.

Or is it an allusion?

Is this planet a false idea? Or is it an indirect reference to something else?

Walker interviewed with the Sixers and is projected to be a late lottery selection in most mock drafts. He’s 6’4″, an explosive guy who can get to the rim and defend a bit, but needs work polishing up his offensive game and will likely spend a lot of time playing off the ball at the next level.

I don’t think the Sixers would take him at #10 overall, not if one of Mikal or Miles Bridges is on the board. That would probably be considered a “reach.” Washington at 15, Milwaukee at 17, and Minnesota at 20 look like feasible landing spots for Walker.
