    100% co-sign!

    Walker doesn't have those sexy physical abilities and he wasn't 18-19, which most likely got him unfairly pushed back into our lap.

    Yep--we summer birthday types (he and I share ours) tend to graduate HS at 17, as he did.

    for as much as Goodwin (his and dame's agency) pumps up this guy on social, maybe someone needs to let him know that his likes are not private and everyone can see them.

    The nice thing about Jabari Walker’s surprise performance so far is that he’s not doing anything that he can’t maintain. If he was shooting some crazy high percentage from 3, I’d say this was just a hot streak. But he’s making the hustle plays, making the right passes, playing solid D, making the right cuts….

    I think the Blazers found a second round gem. He’s only going to get better…

    I think something that helped keep his stat line clean was that he never tried to do too much. In that first game, TW tried way too hard to force plays. GBIII did the same but didn't have as many opportunities. Jabari got his rebounds and steals and got the ball to a guard. How many times did you see a guy grab a rebound and try to run the break, only to turn it over or take a bad shot?

    Absolutely agree. I am way more comfortable about the depth at PF than I was a week ago.
    The 3 Ws, (Walker, Watford, and Winslow) are all different types of PFs than can back up Grant.
    Sure it would be nice if one of them was a star, but I like the depth.

    Now we need a 3rd type of center to round out that position. Someone long and quick for his position who can get out and guard the perimeter when needed. (or just the high pick n roll)

    That kinda sounds like Eubanks tbh. I think we need someone with size closer to Nurks (whiteside/DMC) or someone with length that can pick and pop (Aldridge)
