Jaquay Walls (born April 3, 1978 in Brooklyn, New York) is a professional basketball player who was selected by the Indiana Pacers in the 2nd round (56th pick) in the 2000 NBA Draft.
He played two years as a shooting guard with Compton Community College before transferring to the University of Colorado for the rest of his college career. His junior year, Walls was named Honorable Mention All-Big 12 and made the conference’s All-Newcomer team. As a senior, he was named First Team All-Big 12 by the coaches, and Second Team All-Conference. He also set an NCAA record with 15 points in an overtime period.
He participated in training camp with the Pacers, but never played for them in an actual game. He was selected with the 77th pick in the 2001 NBDL draft by the Asheville Altitude, but once again, would never play a game for the team. That same year, Walls signed a contract to play in Turkey with Galatasaray Cafe Crown. He has since played in both the Pro A and Pro B Leagues in France.
Famous quotes containing the word walls:
“The night in prison was novel and interesting enough.... I found that even here there was a history and a gossip which never circulated beyond the walls of the jail. Probably this is the only house in the town where verses are composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but not published. I was shown quite a long list of verses which were composed by some young men who had been detected in an attempt to escape, who avenged themselves by singing them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
