Walker earns the weekly honor after averaging a double-double of 15.5 ppg and 10.5 rpg in a 2-0 week for the Black and Gold. 

The Washington, D.C., native opened the week with a 13 points and 10 rebounds in Bryant's win over Detroit Mercy. It marked Walker's first double-double with the Black and Gold.

Walker followed that up with a team-high 18 points and 11 rebounds in the Bulldogs' 73-72 victory over Syracuse. Plagued with early foul trouble, Walker managed his second-straight double-double despite playing the final 12 minutes with four fouls. 

Walker is now averaging 12.7 ppg and 6.5 rpg this season.
