Draft Notes

Jordan Walsh is one of the most explosive athletes in the country with big time above the rim and defensive ability. He’s really emerging as a prospect and moving up the rankings. He’s a 5-star talent with NBA potential, although he could take some time to develop.

Walsh is much more than just a big time athlete. He’s got a nice looking jumper, getting great elevation on his shot with a smooth release. While he’s not yet a consistent threat from deep he does show promise and will likely be able to stretch the floor at the next level.

His calling card is his defense. Walsh is a lock-down defender on the perimeter who plays an aggressive style and really gets after the ball. He can guard a multitude of positions and gives great effort on the defensive end of the court.

He’s got ideal size for a wing and all the tools to be special on both ends of the court.
