Walton said he is excited to get to North Carolina, but hasn’t quite nailed down the date he’ll head to Chapel Hill. But the plan is to get there at some point for summer workouts.

Walton is spending the time before he gets to campus working on his dribbling and defense.

He talked about how hard his decision was to pick UNC over the University of Minnesota, how he wants to be remembered in the state, and how his ultimate dream is to become an NBA player.
