Jarace Walker is the most solid all around prospect available at 4. Check his numbers at the combine. Athletically, in the top percentile at any size. A team guy. He's all about hustle on both ends and he's known for selfless play. High IQ. A playmaker. Is a pest on the defensive end. Could become All NBA great on that side. Jack of all trades. Seems like a fit for Udoka.
Jarace is a can’t miss prospect, but I think at 4 they take a chance on someone with superstar potential
lol it feels like half the board is willing Amen Thomspon and the other half is willing for us to trade for 6 and 11 hey , i wanted to trade for 5 and 8 in Green's year. Idk if i would have traded back last year , wanted to trade up for duren this year my guy is anthony black , so i want to trade back for him. If you took him at 4 it'd better work out , but Stone might be on the choppin' block either way.
Says he models his game to that of Jaylen Brown and Tatum.... But I see a Robert Williams that can shoot. Will fit well in the Udoka schemes.
Jarace Walker is like Ivan Drago built from a lab, galvanized at his Elite Sports Academy, then being a 5 Star recruit further galvanized under the mindset of Kelvin Sampson. He’s a grown ass man with freakish athleticism and can hit 3s and play D. Many teams are going to resent not picking him up.
I'd be pleased if we take Jarace Walker at 4 (or 5 or 6, with considerations), and delighted to take Jamal "Manor 'Mal" Shead at 20 (or later, with considerations). Whose house?
Really like his game. Don’t think he’s a fit with Sengun because he’s not a great shooter. He’s going to be a very good player for a very long time, but his upside is less than some other prospects in that range. If we traded back to get him I wouldn’t hate it, but if there’s a clear BPA on our board we should just take the BPA.
I did not see or hear that. Thanks for the news! Here's hoping he leads us to the chip we should've won last year.
It's really weird how little attention he's getting as a potential pick at 4. Probably a bit of a reach, but I'd love to trade down for him.
Doesn't fit in well with Sengun. Small ball 5 is a tough position for anyone. He's a 4, and Bari is taking up the most minutes.
Already been said, but not sure he's a great fit for this team, so I'd prefer other guys in the same (or IMO better) tier. That said...if the Rockets got #10 or a 2nd lottery pick and *could* get Jarace Walker, I wouldn't hate it. I designated myself the Jarace Walker hater, but I think he has great BBIQ/feel, especially on defense. I'm happy to bet on guys like that.
