Here is a summary of the All Star games played Saturday in St. Louis. Game 4 featured teams from Missouri vs. Chicago area stars. The Chicago team arrived just 30 minutes before the game due to traffic problems. Maybe that explains why the Missouri stars ran out to a large early lead. But the Chicago team came back, lead by Walter Lemon. The Missouri stars won the game 98-87, but Lemon was the game's high scorer with 21 points.

6'3" Bradley University signee Walter Lemon of Chicago Julian simply took over the game with his incredible leaping ability and mid-range game. Lemon will be a star at Bradley as he delighted the fans with his quick first step, his precise step back jumpers, and his ridiculous jumping ability. Lemon scored a game-high 21 points.
 
Well I hope the writer knows basketball. That sounds very promising. I especially like the leaping ability because if he plays at the same time as Donivine Stewart that would be a small backcourt and if he can jump it would help.
 
The site is run by Terrell Ramey, who sponsored the All-Star games and who coaches and runs the Terrell Ramey AAU program in St. Louis. His AAU team is the best team in St. Louis and Missouri, and he coached a number of the St. Louis and Missouri kids who played Saturday. So there is no doubt he knows talent.
 
But Ramey doesn't have the desire to unfairly hype guys like Lemon, after all, Walter has never played AAU ball with Ramey's program or with anyone in St. Louis, and he was on the opposing team that knocked off Ramey's St. Louis kids...
so for Ramey to heap that kind of praise on Walter...I am impressed
 
Can you hear the BU crowd yelling "JUICE" after blowing by a defender and jammin one home..... :)

Hope Lemon can bring it to the next level!

Sounds good. He must have improved on his jumping ability from that dreadful YouTube video.

Actually, I just watched that again, and Lemon is pretty good with his dunks and shooting in the first few minutes, it's only when he gets obviously tired late in the workout that his dunks aren't so good. I don't think Bradley needs him to be a dunker.

Yeah, I don't care if he's a dunker either. I just would have edited those failed attempts out!
 
I had the chance to talk to him when he visited for the Wichita State game. I would say he is just about 6'2", but not quite 6'3".
 
Wow, great job Walter! I didn't even know much about this kid when we first got him, now every time I hear of him he seems better and better. I am really excited to see what this kid brings to the table, he seems like he will be very good and possibly very good right away!
 
Lookin' forward to WL and DS on the court together - a couple of play-making guards. Haven't seen either of them play, but seems that BU struck gold with these 2 recruits.
 
BU commit Walter Lemon played in another All Star game yesterday in Chicago.
Walter scored 15 points for the South team in the Chicago Public League Basketball Coaches Association Luther Bedford All-Star Game as the North won 96-93. Lemon's South team had a 24 point lead in the first half, but the North gradually came back and took a 1 point lead with 9 seconds left in the game.

Here is a twitter post from a high school basketball reporter who was impressed with Walter's athleticism.

Is WL going to be a sleeper in the HH mode-hardly heard about in HS but blows up in college-sounds like he can hold his own and that is real
exciting-can't wait to see what he does for the Braves the next 4 years.
