After being declared ineligible to play his senior year of high school basketball, Bill Walker, best known as O.J. Mayo's teammate at North College Hill (Ohio) High may be able to enter this coming year's NBA Draft.

Walker met the first half of the NBA's draft-eligibility requirements for high school seniors -- which says that a high school senior can enter the draft if it has been a year since his original high school class graduated.

The Ohio governing body is essentially stating that Walker's original high school class is the one that graduated in June 2006.

Despite often being overshadowed by teammate Mayo, Walker is a 6'6" small forward with athleticism that parallels Vince Carter.

If Walker decides to enter the 2007 draft, he would become the first high school senior to be picked since the NBA changed its draft rules during the last collective bargaining session.
