Many fans and pundits raised an eyebrow last June when the Boston Celtics front office selected Baylor Scheierman with the 30th pick. The move had fans wondering if that would have an impact on Jordan Walsh, whom they acquired via a trade on draft night a year prior, presumably as a wing project for the future. Drafting the former Creighton product certainly seemed like a floor spacing bench upgrade for the world champions, or maybe even a Sam Hauser insurance policy.
Either way, Jordan Walsh had a less than stellar second season in the NBA. Playing in just 52 games on the year with many DNP’s recorded.
