Walker’s length and agility give the Sixers another versatile option for defense and floor spacing. The Rico Hines Runs showcased his ability to adapt to different roles, suggesting he could earn time in various lineups as the team rotates through injuries and rest, potentially surfacing as a DFS-friendly late-round target when a favorable slate aligns.

Walker appears as a wings-and-big hybrid option for the Sixers in a season where Embiid and George may be limited. If he can deliver on defense and board work with efficient scoring, his role could expand in back-to-back scenarios, presenting opportunistic fantasy upside.

Walker signed with the Sixers on a two-way deal after three seasons with Portland, switching from No. 34 to No. 33 in Philly due to Barkley’s retired number. His immediate value is tied to Embiid’s health; a strong camp could unlock practice-to-rotation opportunities as Philadelphia builds interior depth.
