Awesome!!! I have been hoping for this for awhile now.

[bradleyfan2003]

I hope he gets some minutes too, he did decent with the pelicans last year and proved he can play in the NBA

[Big Mike]

Watched Walter last night on espnu and he had 29 pts! Good for him!

[Mikovio]

Congrats Walt! Gives me a reason to watch the Bulls.

[Jim]

Congratulations Walt!! I wonder if he has a younger brother that would be interested in Bradley.

[Bradley3342]

Congratulations Walt! You’ve worked hard to get where your at.

[Tommy]

Makes you wonder what this kid could have done if he had Wardle as a coach.

Walt did plenty during his career at Bradley. Coach Les recognized his potential while Walt was a prep at Julian HS and was able to convince him to matriculate to Bradley. An appropriate question is; how much better would Walt and Bradley have been if he were allowed to play his four years under JL?

[tornado]

since Walt spent a couple years as the only offensive weapon Geno had - he actually had probably more chance to score under Geno than under anyone else

Walt has been playing in the first quarter. He has at least 4 points and a steal so far. The announcers have had many positive comments about his G-league contributions.
