Selected in 38th position in the 2023 Draft, Jordan Walsh is currently showing that he is perhaps better than his place in the vintage. The former Arkansas Summer League 2023 is in any case a success.
16 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1 steal averaged in 27 minutes per game. So of course, Jordan Walsh will not end up as the best scorer or even the best player in the competition, but for someone who was not especially expected in this Summer League 2023, it’s really solid. We had already been able to get an idea of his qualities in previous meetings, including a card once morest the Lakers (25 points). Last night once morest the Magic, the winger might not have a huge playing time (12 points, 4 rebounds in 16 minutes) given the beating inflicted by Boston, but on the little that we might observe c is still so attractive.
Jordan Walsh is not the “BG” who stands out on the field, but he is a player who brings certain guarantees. Already, that of a player who shows a lot of desire, fighting spirit. Defensively, he is also someone who we will quickly categorize as a ringworm.

The hustle and the defense, these are qualities that will quickly appeal to Celtics fans. The fact that it can add some 3-point reliability (41% in this Summer League with 5 attempts per game), that’s a great thing too. We have real 3&D potential to develop and there’s probably something to be done in terms of handling as well, the guy is not one-armed.
With the departure of Grant Williams, Boston will look for options to come and give a hand to positions 3 or 4 and Walsh might eventually become a solution. We are not saying that he will play 15 minutes a night from day 1, we are not in a rush, but we can really leave with a good surprise if the transplant takes place at TD Garden. Given his number in the Draft, he is a boy to potentially put away in the steals by next year.
