Formosa Dreamers Re-sign Key Player Randall Walko for Championship Defense

The Formosa Dreamers have secured a key player for their upcoming championship defense, announcing the re-signing of American forward Randall Walko for the 2026-27 season.

Walko proved to be an integral part of the Dreamers' historic championship run last season. In 35 regular-season games, he posted averages of 9.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists, while shooting an impressive nearly 40% from beyond the arc. His contributions extended beyond scoring, as he provided consistent support on both ends of the court through his defense, rebounding, and team play.

During the playoffs and finals, Walko's tenacious defense and clutch shooting were particularly vital, playing a significant role in the team clinching its first-ever championship title. His ability to impact the game in multiple facets made him a valuable asset.

Last season allowed me to find a training and body management method that suits me, and I also became clearer about what a winning team needs to contribute. For me, role or stats have never been the most important thing; what matters is being a player the coach trusts and doing my job according to the team's needs. I will bring this attitude to the new season, contributing on both offense and defense, and moving towards new goals with everyone.

Reflecting on his return, Walko expressed his comfort and understanding of the team's winning formula. "Last season allowed me to find a training and body management method that suits me, and I also became clearer about what a winning team needs to contribute," he stated.

General Manager Han Chun-kai echoed Walko's sentiments, emphasizing his importance to the team. "Randall has always been a very important member of the team. He provides stable performance on both offense and defense and has a good understanding of the team's tactical execution," Han said. "After winning the championship with the team last season, he has accumulated more experience, and we look forward to him continuing to bring help to the team with such performance in the new season."
