BobSaccamanno Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Apparently for Walker. Good motor. Tweener. Role player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad they didn’t take a pedestrian guy like Walker or Whitmore. I think Whitmore has potential but heard he had health concerns. pretty interesting 6-7 first picks foreign and g league guys…only one college player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have taken in a safer guy who was never going to matter but took a shot. They picked this guy for Washington in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Okay, I’m in a room full of screaming kids. Did the Pacers get anything else, or did they just flip picks? Edited June 23, 2023 by Parakeet Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker at 6’8 and not quick will likely not be more than a role player when you have shooting guards who are 6’8. Kind of a stretch at 8. The nice thing is he hustles and battles but you’d like more than a try harder guy in the top 8. Grady is dynamic with a legit high end skill. Just because the GMs tell you he’s more of the 11th or 12th guy doesn’t mean they have good analytical skills.

dgambill Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) So we got two second rd picks? I’m sure we will sell those for more cash considerations. Expected pick…it’s been Walker for a while now. Solid but unispiring. Be nice we trade up for a change…but nope.

He can shoot but was horrible on the defensive end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of shooters where you deal with their D and work around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Jarace will be succeed and excel no matter what situation he's in because his game is so multi-faceted. He can get to the rim and finish. He can pass it. He's got a nice floater, jump hook, with his back to the basket, he can turn and face, go left, go right. If you run at him he's going to make the right play. And people are going to love playing with him because he plays winning basketball." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 The Pacers have needed a 4 that can defend and rebound for several years. They got that in Walker. Walker makes plays that help teams win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
