Boston Celtics
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Walsh was Boston's only selection from the 2023 Draft. The organization hopes the energetic second-round pick can replace some of the defensive versatility they lost when Grant Williams left for Dallas. Whether Walsh can eventually hit corner threes like Williams is up for debate. At only 19 years of age, there is a wide range of possible outcomes for the 6-foot-7 forward. During his one season at Arkansas, he displayed a high motor that could dominate on the defensive end. But the Razorback's offensive skills are raw, as demonstrated by his 43.3 percent shooting from the field and 71.2 percent from the charity stripe. Expect the Celtics to let Walsh develop his game via many trips to the G League Maine Celtics, especially early in the season. The young forward had a strong Summer League, where he delivered 16.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and one steal in 27 minutes per game over five contests. Walsh signed a four-year deal with the C's, who possess a strong roster, so Boston can be patient with his development. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Jordan Walsh spent his first and only collegiate season playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks. As a freshman, he started in 22 of his 36 appearances and averaged 7.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals. The forward helped lead the Razorbacks to a Sweet 16 appearance in the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Before Arkansas, Walsh was a five-star and consensus top-25 recruit out of high school. He played his first three seasons at Faith Family Academy in Dallas, Texas, before transferring to Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, for his senior year. Walsh was selected to play in the 2022 McDonald's All-American Boys Game and the Jordan Brand Classic. Walsh has impressive size and athleticism for a modern-day forward. He has a good feel of when to cut and is a relentless finisher at the rim. His length allows him to bother opponents all over the floor and create turnovers. Walsh's skillset has shades of Jonathan Kuminga and Tari Eason. His elite athleticism and length give him the potential to be a top-tier defender in the NBA. Being one of the younger prospects in the draft, it will likely take time for him to see consistent minutes and be a high-level contributor.

April 21, 2024
Walsh won't start Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Heat on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With Boston resting its usual starters, Walsh made his first career NBA start during the regular-season finale and posted one point (0-2 FG), three rebounds, two steals and an assist in 17 minutes during a win over Washington. The rookie spent most of the season in the G League and isn't expected to be part of the Celtics' postseason rotation.

Strong Summer League play
FBoston Celtics
July 19, 2023
Walsh averaged 16.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.8 minutes per game across the Celtics' five Summer League contests.
ANALYSIS
Walsh rained in 40.7 percent of his 27 three-point attempts, which is a notable mark given his 27.8 percent shooting from deep during his lone collegiate season at Arkansas. Walsh is raw off the dribble, but the 6-foot-7 wing brings exciting energy and defensive versatility to Boston. He was signed to a four-year deal after being selected 38th overall in the 2023 Draft.
