[edit] High school
Walker grew up in the borough of The Bronx in New York City. After a brief 
stint 
in Herbert H. Lehman High School, he attended Rice High School. While there he 
was coached under Maurice Hicks, who coached other stand-outs like Andre 
Barrett, Keydren Clark, and Russell Robinson. In his junior year, Walker played 
against Simeon Career Academy and senior guard Derrick Rose in Madison Square 
Garden in a 53–51 win.[3] During Walker's senior year he averaged 18.2 points 
per game and 5.3 assists per game,[4] earning him a spot on the prestigious 
McDonald's All-American Team. Kemba played for the AAU basketball program, the 
New York Gauchos with fellow Big East players Jordan Theodore, Darryl "Truck" 
Bryant, Devin Hill, and Danny Jennings. The team went on to finish #1 in the 
nation. Following high school he agreed to play for the University of 
Connecticut.
[edit] College
During his freshman year at UConn, Walker played in every game. He helped the 
Huskies achieve a number one seed in the 2009 NCAA Tournament. Despite starting 
in only two games he averaged 25.5 minutes per game, far more than any regular 
non-starter.[5] He also helped the Huskies go to the 2009 Final Four with a 23 
point effort vs Missouri. Walker appeared on one of the six regional covers 
Sports Illustrated. Twelve games into his junior campaign, Walker was the 
nation's leading scorer, averaging 26.7 points per game. In addition, he 
averaged five rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
In the 2011 Big East Tournament (during his junior year), Walker hit the game 
winning shot as time expired to beat #3 overall Pittsburgh and advance UConn to 
the semi-finals. He led UConn to victory over University of Louisville in the 
Big East Championship game and was named MVP for the tournament. Walker scored 
130 points in five games, a Big East Tournament record and the most points 
scored in any conference tournament in the past 15 seasons. UConn became the 
first school to win five games in five days to earn a conference 
championship.[6]
On March 14, 2011, The United States Basketball Writers Association named 
Walker 
a first team All-American.[7] He is also a finalist for College Basketball 
Player of the Year honors due to his performance in the 2010-11 season.[8][9]

I heard somewhere that Walker is Kemba Walker’s brother. Is that true?. They 
are 
both from New York but it wasn’t mentioned on TV during game.
 
What a great OT win!!!
