To borrow from the show Seinfeld, the Jordan Walsh glow-up is real, and it's spectacular. The third-year wing has ascended to the Boston Celtics' starting lineup. He has been a first-unit fixture for 12 straight games.
What's most noticeable is the job he is doing stepping into the void for a defensive stopper. Jaylen Brown relished guarding the opposition's best perimeter player. However, given that he's shouldering more of a burden offensively with Jayson Tatum out, he had to pass the baton. Jordan Walsh grabbed it and hasn't looked back.
The former Arkansas Razorback is looking more and more like the defensive menace he was in college.
