Background

About Jack Walker

24 years old. Team-oriented worker with versatile skills in video, scouting and player development. Currently working for the Oklahoma City Thunder in Basketball Operations under the Director of Player Development. Formerly on the coaching staff with the University of Miami Men's Basketball program under Head Coach Jim Larrañaga as a Graduate Assistant. Worked closely with staff on film breakdown/distribution, player development, opponent scouting, on-campus recruiting, and other ad-hoc projects. In an on-bench role, I was given the opportunity to be an offensive analyst for a team that finished 6th in KP adjusted offense. During 2023 pre-draft, I was fortunate enough to be able to join Excel Sports Management and lend a hand in on-court player development sessions that featured multiple high major NBA prospects. 2020 participant in Larry Coon's Sports Business Classroom at NBA Summer League. As a scouting/video/analytics intern, I had the chance to live scout summer league games, compile Synergy edits and learn practical application of basketball data as well as FA/trade clauses in the CBA. SBC concluded with mock free agency, where we broke up into groups, were assigned to direct a team's offseason decision making (Knicks) and then later presented our insight to a panel of NBA executives. Proud Indiana University undergraduate alumni and University of Miami graduate alumni. Originally from Westchester, New York.
