Walters-Sundararajah is from Toronto and is in Fleming’s Carpentry and Renovation Technician program. In his first season with the Phoenix, Walters-Sundararajah logged 245 minutes of playing time in 16 games this season, earning six starts and 128 points over the course of the season.

According to Fleming, Walters-Sundararajah’s coaches rave about his immediate impact on the court, getting the ball up the floor quickly and drawing attention from the defence with his ability to get to the key. He also has an innate ability to draw fouls and create opportunities for his teammates.

Walters-Sundararajah’s efforts helped the Phoenix men’s basketball team secure a playoff spot this season.
