"I made my decision, a lot of was because of him," Walker said.

Despite being parted with Hornets, Walker still considers a former teammate as the best and the player whom he has learned a lot from

"But the guy who I have learned a lot lot lot from, many people might not even consider him as a leader is Marvin Williams. He's been like the best to me," Walker revealed.
