Blazers’ Jabari Walker looks like the biggest steal of the NBA Draft so far during Summer League

Jabari Walker, whose father Samaki Walker was an NBA champion, already looks like one of the best picks in the 2022 NBA Draft.

Walker is 6-foot-8 with a near 7-foot wingspan and almost averaged a double-double (14.6 ppg and 9.4 rpg) as a high-major underclassman. As a sophomore, he led the conference in rebounds and he was named First-Team All-Pac-12.

He finished his collegiate career shooting 39.9 percent on 3-pointers, even connecting on 4-of-5 from beyond the arc in an NCAA tournament game. So how did someone like that, who is still only 19 years old, fall to the second-to-last pick in the 2022 NBA Draft?
