Kansas State's Walker to enter draft

MANHATTAN, Kansas (Ticker) - Losing freshman sensation Michael
Beasley was not the only bad news for Kansas State fans Monday.
Redshirt freshman Bill Walker announced he will follow the
footsteps of Beasley and enter the NBA draft.
Unlike Beasley, who is expected to be one of the top two picks
in the draft, Walker said he will not hire an agent, which
leaves open the possibility he will return to Kansas State.
The 6-6 Walker averaged 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds to help the
Wildcats to a 21-12 record and their first appearance in the
NCAA Tournament in 12 years.
The presence of Beasley overshadowed the exploits of Walker, who
scored in double figures 25 times, including three 30-point
games, and four double-doubles.
Walker was one of the nation's top recruits entering Kansas
State, but he tore his ACL just six games into his freshman
season.
