Walker can get it done from inside and out. She has a pure shooting form that includes a high arch and good ball spin. It is not the quickest shot, but when Walker has enough space to pull it, the shot is nothing but nylon. She can also take a few steps back and hit threes from way beyond the 3-point line.
