Just go.
That’s what goes through redshirt junior guard K.J. Walton’s head when he sees an opening.
“If it’s one-on-one, I’m definitely going to go,” Walton said. “If I got shooters in the corner, I’ll find them, and I’ll just read and react.”
Those instincts have helped Walton score a combined 40 points in the Cardinals’ last two contests including a career-high 24 at Central Michigan Saturday. The second half is where he shined against the Chippewas, dropping 16 points on 8 of 9 shooting. He continued his hot streak into Tuesday, scoring 12 in the first half while making his first four shots.
“His efficiency is off the charts,” head coach James Whitford said. “He just has an uncanny knack running downhill with the ball.”
Walton is shooting 57 percent from the field and has scored fewer than 10 points only twice in 19 games this season.
“He’s one of the best players in our conference to me,” Persons said. “I trust him with everything. It’s one of my best friends out there. I believe in him, he believes in me and we just have to stay with it every game.”
