Where Walsh has an edge on Minott is he's better at setting screens and thus is a more active around the ball on offense. They have increased Minott's screen setting plays, but Walsh is currently better at doing it.

If Walsh pans out i think he's a different level of prospect than Minott. The whispers I've heard over and over in central Maine said Walsh was pretty immature. Our new crop might be what pushed him to start focusing harder.

Walsh probably was immature, when he was in Maine. I mean, he's only 21 now.

I'm not referring to his time in Maine. Well, i guess i am lol. Talking this season though. One person told me imagine Grant Williams if he wanted to be an influencer.

Just as a good player can have a bad game, so can a marginal player have good game. But three good games in a row? Seems unlikely. Jordan Walsh has elevated his game. He has been one of the most impactful players for the Celtics in that three game stretch. Keep it up, Jordan!

Yeah for sure. I was immature until age 52.

Marginal players can definitely have 3 good games in a row, especially "role player" kind of good games. I think you're overstating how solidified a player is after that.

But it's better than 3 bad games and he's showing real potential. Hopefully he sticks with it because it'd be a nice little boost for this team to have a real depth option like that defensively.

IDK. Jordan Walsh has had more than several good Games, and that was before he Started.
He's shooting 47% overall, and 44% from 3; plus 4 Rebs. Looks like he has improved his overall Game, save for FT's.

I really don't care about the offensive stats right now because I think Walsh will have his ups and downs on offense.

But the defense, man!
Walsh can defend 1 to 4.
From guarding Banchero to Maxey to JJJ, that's impressive.

Agreed. Walsh was locking them down.; he held tight with JJJ and Maxey. Not to shabby.
