Celtics DRAFT Jordan Walsh w/ 38th Pick | INSTANT DRAFT REACTION + ANALYSIS

In this segment from Garden Report, we react to the Celtics 38th pick, forward Jordan Walsh. We unpack the convoluted trail of trades leading to this selection, tracing the pick's journey from Memphis to Detroit to Sacramento and finally to Boston.

After an average freshman season with Arkansas, Walsh caught the eye of NBA scouts at the draft combine with his impressive defensive versatility and performance. He was crucial to the Razorbacks' advance to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16, a feat we'll explore in detail.

We'll discuss how Walsh, though still just 19, exhibits elite physical tools with the potential to guard positions from point guard through power forward. Walsh offers a 6-7 frame and 7-2 wingspan. The crew acknowledges his significant room for improvement, particularly in his jump shot and overall offensive consistency.

Then, we shift gears to a post-draft analysis, investigating why the Celtics traded their No. 34 pick for Walsh at No. 38. We debate whether the defensive upside , was a worthy trade-off for his currently undeveloped offensive game.
