Player of the Week: Nathan Walters
Mike Zink
Senior Nathan Walters was a pivotal force in the middle for the Broncos this season improving in almost every phase of the game. In his third game of the season he tied the Broncos single game scoring record against Choctaw, dropping 33 points against the Yellow Jackets.
“He’s a force in the middle as well as being our leading scorer last year and this season,” head coach Alan Green said. “He’s averaged 12.0 points per game, eight rebounds per game and has had numerous double doubles this year.”
Walters has become multi-dimensional, improving on the offensive side of the ball and becoming a polished scorer from the perimeter as well as a more consistent contributor in paint.
“He got a lot more face up shots this year compared to last,” said Green. “Something that we talked about last year was being more than a one-dimensional player because it would be easy for defenders to take the ball away. He’s worked quite a bit on his perimeter game this year.”
“He gets 8 to 10 rebounds every night and that’s just 8 or 10 less shots that the other team gets,” adds Green.
“Generally he is going to give you over 10 points a night so he’s been huge for us.”
Walters has been more of a complete player, opponents doubling down on him and thus allowing his teammates to contribute in the scoring. He gives up the ball while drawing double coverage from the other team’s best players.
“The other team had to worry about him in the paint because he was going to get his points and boards so they focus in on him more,” Green explains. “Since he was more consistent and solid every game we had numerous guys that were able to lead us in scoring.
“Last year he would get in double digits every now and then. We didn’t know for sure until the season ended that more than likely he would consistently get double digits in scoring and rebounding. This year it was expected of him and he still came through so for the most part it would be his consistency.”
Walters ended the season with 18 points and 8 rebounds against Midwest City in the first round of regional action last week.
