Sports Take: Baylor men’s basketball possesses championship-caliber depth

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

No. 20 Baylor men’s basketball trailed Auburn by nine points at halftime on Tuesday. Then, the Bears — and their 11-man rotation — turned on the jets.

Five-star freshman guard Ja’Kobe Walter took the reins early and often, scoring a school freshman-debut record of 28 points and six rebounds on 7 of 13 shooting (four of seven from 3-point land and 10 for 10 on free throws). Walter’s smooth shooting stroke and unflappable focus at the release point, particularly off movement, were evident on pull-ups and off-ball screening action.
