not classifying Walsh in that category yet, and I LOVE his physical profile for the NBA, but unfortunately in today's NBA it's offense over everything else and as a wing you need to at least knock down 3s at + clip to be able to see the court consistently unless you're like the second coming of Tony Allen or something and even then, I don't know if Tony Allen would've been allowed to develop in today's NBA vs. 15 yrs ago.
tldr: today's NBA sucks

I'm imagining a *role* like Taurean Prince. Intense 3/4 off the bench who probably doesn't become a starting caliber player but fits a rotation. Could easily not be a rotation player, but I like him even though I'm a bit underwhelmed.

At least I'm not the only one who's underwhelmed by him most of the time. It's like.. I see the activity on defense and the hustle, but I'm not sure what he can contribute to warrant being FRP. I feel these types go in the second round. But if he can manage to become a respectable shooter (even corner) then I can see something there.

I think he's still a late first with his length, and I believe the shot will come around. But I thought late lotto at the beginning of the year. He showed some passing and playmaking ability in high school and some of that didn't translate. Maybe it's there at this level and there are just better options on Arkansas, but I kind of think the competition jump meant that part of his game couldn't really translate.

Sorry but in my opinion there’s no way Walsh is an FRP. He would need to be the best defender in the nation to be an FRP given he’ll be a black hole on offense in the NBA. And I’m confused as to why you believe that his shot will come around when there’s absolutely no evidence of that happening?

I think we will start hearing a lot more. It’s been a trend. I don’t see him turning it around either.

He wont get fired, they just signed him to like a 10 year deal. If anything there will have to be a mutual agreement to lower his UK's buyout (somewhere around 50+ mil). My guess is Texas might have to come in and offer a huge deal and that might be what both sides need to exit peacefully.

Texas has unlimited money especially since they’re heading to the SEC. That would be a “splash” hire and I can see some of their boosters covering the buyout.
If Cal leaves Kentucky - I think UK would throw the bank at Jay Wright
