Early life

[edit]

Walton was born in Detroit, Michigan to Angela and Derrick Walton Sr. on April 3, 1995.[1] Walton had considered attending Saginaw High School with a close friend, Dorian Dawkins, but Dawkins collapsed at a basketball camp on June 12, 2009, due to a heart defect and Walton Sr. became the head coach at Chandler Park Academy.[2] June 13, 2011 was the first day that Michigan offered scholarships to the class of 2013.[3] Walton announced his non-binding verbal commitment to Michigan, on August 1, 2011. He was ranked in the class of 2013: #77 according to Scout.com, #88 according to Rivals.com, and #92 according to ESPN.com.[4] This commitment came one day after Zak Irvin joined Michigan's 2013 recruiting class.[3] Walton had a breakout season as a junior, that included posting 47 points and 12 rebounds against Crockett High School on March 9, 2012, and a quadruple-double against Cesar Chavez Academy on January 31, 2012.[5] Walton's Rivals.com ranking increased from 57th to 44th in the national class of 2013, during the summer of 2012.[6] On November 16, 2012, Michigan men's basketball received a signed National Letter of Intent from the 6-foot (1.83 m) Walton.[5] At Chandler Park Academy, he was the runner-up for the 2013 Mr. Basketball of Michigan award by a 2,130–2,086 margin to Iowa State signee Monté Morris but had one more first-place vote.[7][8] He was a 2013 Parade All-American honoree and the Michigan Boys Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year.[9][10] By the end of his high school career, he was ranked 37th by Rivals.[11]

[edit]

In September 2013, Sports Illustrated named him the 9th-best freshman.[15] Sporting News named him the 3rd-best Big Ten newcomer.[16] On November 8, the Wolverines opened the season against UMass Lowell. Michigan played six freshmen and Walton started.[17][18] Michigan played its third game of Walton's freshman season against Monté Morris' Iowa State Cyclones and Walton outscored Morris by a 13–2 margin, but Iowa State won the contest, upsetting the AP Poll #7/Coaches Poll #8 Wolverines 77–70 on November 17.[19] On November 22 against Florida State, Walton contributed 15 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds to a two-point overtime victory.[20] Walton posted seven assists for the first time on November 29 against Coppin State.[21][22] On January 9 against Nebraska, Walton contributed key baskets at the end of each half in a one-point victory, giving Michigan its first five-game win streak since the 2013 NCAA tournament. He made a buzzer beater from beyond half court before the half to give Michigan a halftime lead and a layup in Michigan's final possession to take the lead.[23][24] On January 25 in the Michigan–Michigan State rivalry game, Walton set a new career high with a team-high (tied with Nik Stauskas) 19 points and added 6 rebounds and 4 assists to help Michigan defeat the (#3)[25] Michigan State Spartans 80–75.[26] The victory marked the first time in school history that the team defeated three consecutive AP Poll top ten opponents and marked the first time since the 1986–87 Iowa Hawkeyes that any team had won three consecutive games, all of which were against top ten opponents.[27] It also gave Michigan a 7–0 Big Ten start, which was the best since the 1976–77 team won its first eight games.[27] In the game, Walton went 9-for-10 from the free throw line, including 8-for-9 in the final two and a half minutes. For the week, Walton earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week recognition.[28][29] On February 11, Walton posted his first double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds against Ohio State, helping Michigan win at Ohio State for the first time in 11 years.[30][31] Following the regular season, he was named a Big Ten All-Freshman team selection by the coaches.[32][33] Michigan clinched its first outright (unshared) Big Ten Conference championship since 1985–86.[34] The 2013–14 team advanced to the Elite Eight round of the 2014 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament before being eliminated by Kentucky.[35] He posted a career-high four steals in an upset loss against the EMU Eagles.[36][37]

The 10 points included two three-pointers that tied the score at 42 and gave Michigan a 45–42 lead and 4 free throws in the final minute.[50][51] On January 24, Walton scored a team-high 17 points and hit a three-pointer with 1.3 seconds to go against (AP #6/Coaches #5)[52] Wisconsin to tie the game and send it to overtime, but Michigan eventually lost.[53] On January 27, Walton was removed from the lineup prior to the game due to a sore toe as Michigan defeated Nebraska.[54][55] He then missed the final 12 games of the season due to the toe injury.[54][55][56]
