Ohio State's CJ Walker Will Go Through NBA Pre-Draft Process, But “Fully Expects” to Return for Senior Season

Kaleb Wesson won’t be the only Buckeye taking a look at his pro options this offseason.

CJ Walker, Ohio State’s redshirt senior point guard, will go through the NBA pre-draft process, Chris Holtmann said during a conference call with reporters on Tuesday afternoon.

He’s able to go through the evaluation process while maintaining his college eligibility. The deadline by which Walker has to decide whether or not to stay in school is June 3. The expectation is that he’ll remain in school for his fifth season.

“He fully expects to come back and lead our team,” Holtmann said Tuesday.
