Walton played college basketball for John Wooden at the University of California and was the 1973 recipient of the James E. Sullivan Award , the USBWA College Player of the Year and Naismith College Player of the Year.

Walton was drafted number one overall by the Portland Trail Blazers , leading the NBA in both rebounds per game and blocked shots per game in 1976-77.
