Rockingham Flames: Devondrick Walker 

In the preseason, the 2022 NBL1 West MVP Devondrick Walker said he’ll be even better than he was last season – and he’s come out the gates showing he wasn’t lying. 

Averaging 36 points across two games, Walker looked more athletic, more skilled and more determined. 

After being handed his Coles Express NBL1 National Finals Championship ring, Walker led his Flames to a 120-point total score over the Wolves at home. 

With the target on their back, we’ll see if Walker can continue to be as fiery hot as he was in Round 1.
