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:
“Do you know what Agelisas said, when he was asked why the great city of Lacedomonie was not girded with walls? Because, pointing out the inhabitants and citizens of the city, so expert in military discipline and so strong and well armed: “Here,” he said, “are the walls of the city,” meaning that there is no wall but of bones, and that towns and cities can have no more secure nor stronger wall than the virtue of their citizens and inhabitants.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
