Shayla Smith | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Walker is coming fresh off a GHSA State Championship. She is a special talent that uses the step back and her speed to her advantage. A player who can handle the basketball and get to the paint quickly. Can score at any given time and loves having the ball in her hands. Will pressure you and turn you over with her quickness.

Saige is a young player I saw early in the season in a great matchup with

Murray County | 2028
State
GA
, one of the best sophomores in Georgia when Hebron took on eventual state champion Murray County. Saige stood out in that game with her quickness and shiftiness with and without the ball, her vocal leadership as a freshman on a team full of future college players running the point, and her ability to create space, attack holes in the defense, and make them pay by scoring the ball herself in tight windows with little space. Saige is a player who I believe is just now coming into her own as a player with her best basketball ahead of her. She is surrounded by future Power Four players and Walker fits right in. She knows her roles is to put pressure on the ball defensively, not turn the ball over, and find open teammates which she was excellent at on Saturday. Do not get it twisted, Saige can also go get a bucket for herself when necessary. An excellent point guard prospect in the 2029 class.

Saige has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders, especially for a freshman, as the starting point guard on a nationally ranked team. Walker flourished in that role as the conductor of an orchestra full of future division one players. Walker has excellent quickness and elite ball handling to go along with good vision. Walker did a good job using angles on post entry passes. Saige scored from behind the three point line and getting in the paint with dribble penetration.

Read EvaluationBrandon Fisher | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Saige is a bouncy and shifty athlete that was competing at a high level against some top guards in her class. On defense, she was capable of blocking shots and locking up the opposing teams PG with pressure using her quickness. She did a nice job of running the point and making the extra pass for an easier shot on offense. Her game was elevated when she played off of two feet or used her bounce to elevate for a runner over a defender.
