Jordan Walsh Appreciation Thread

[Goldstar88]

Walsh is an absolute menace defensively. The versatility, the energy.. He is starting to remind me of Andre Iguodala on that end. Joe should be playing him more. Jordan could be a real X factor come playoff time.

and he is only 21 years old....

Just continue developing him and he could become a regular, legitimate contributor.

If he could ever improve his 3P% or carve out a few "go-to" offensive moves that would be amazing.

Walsh is shooting 38% from 3pt this year. I don?t think we should be expecting more than that.

I guess some recency bias on my end, because I know he's been very cold from three-point land recently. A quick Google search shows me 3 for 19 (16%) the last 10 games.

Either way if he continues to develop he could be a good all-around player. He provides a nice spark and high level athleticism.

Is it his turn again to get more minutes?   


I think all three of those swingmen are on a similar level right now that it does make sense to go with the hottest hand at the moment.

I have this underlying fear that two of Hugo, Jordan, and Baylor will fall victim to a consolidation trade in the future for a more established "championship piece". I really hope BS sticks with a more organic build from within model because its so gratifying seeing the players the Cs draft developing into real rotation worthy players.

I don't necessarily think that will happen.  If Hugo and Walsh can improve their shooting and Baylor improves his D, that's 3 rotation-quality players coming off the bench for cheap.  Gives Brad the 'luxury' of focusing on ballhandlers and bigs for filling out the roster via free agency and drafting.

He uses a fake and drive from the 3 fairly successfully.  Im actually surprised at how quickly he can get to the rim from such a distance.  The finishing part isn?t 100% but he gets there so I guess that?s half the battle. 

It's crazy how much you can do in the NBA on pure hustle though. There will always be a place for a guy with a nose for the ball.

Not only a nose for the ball and great energy - got good long arms.

He's the only player over the last few weeks that I've wanted to see more of.  Hope he continues to get minutes.
