I rarely agree with Pfeifer's takes, but I know where is coming from with the Siakam stuff for Jarace's offensive ceiling.
I think if Jarace is going to be a more than a 4th option type, he has to build his scoring package around his handle, speed and touch combo for his size. And then continue to work on actually using his strength and frame.

I don't think it's all that likely, but that would be the blueprint for me.
I think its more likely he just ends up being a connective piece on that side (despite how overused this term has become)

I see more Isaiah Stewart in Walker than Draymond.
BaF Lakers:

Darius Garland/Cory Joseph
Klay Thompson/Shaedon Sharpe
Keldon Johnson/De'Andre Hunter
Evan Mobley/Tari Eason
Nic Claxton/Draymond Green

Bench: Leonard Miller, Jett Howard, Markquis Nowell, Kennedy Chandler, Day'Ron Sharpe

I've been saying for a while he's some weird combo of Draymond and Beef Stew :lol:
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

I feel like Draymond, in his prime, was someone who had enough lateral agility to switch most PnRs, or at least give the PoA defender enough time to recover and be agile enough to get back. I just don't see Walker having that same ability, his lateral quickness is more along that of a C in the modern day. And he doesn't have other elite measurables to make up for it

Plus I don't buy his 3pt shot given the free throw percentage.

My comment was mostly about the Isaiah Stewart comparison. They have pretty similar hairstyles so I thought that this could be why Walker reminded people of Stewart.

That said, I will readily admit that I do not follow college basketball as closely as most other posters in here do. I have no idea how Stewart played in college and the kind of player he was leading up to the draft. He could indeed be similar to Walker but I wouldn't know it :lol:

Just finished a new Film Sesh with Hendricks. Love the kid's approach to the game.
