Heading into the season, unless you were a Boston Celtics fan or simply a hardcore NBA fan, you might not have known the name Jordan Walsh. Truth be told, the 2023 second-round pick didn't play much in his first two seasons, receiving under 500 total minutes on a loaded Celtics team. However, with Jayson Tatum's injury and the Celtics making a lot of cap-cutting moves, Walsh got an opportunity.
Walsh has taken advantage of this opportunity, averaging 17.2 minutes, 4.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, an assist, and 1.6 stocks on 46.2/41.2/75 shooting splits. Notably, he has started in the past two games.
