Jordan Walsh, a 19-year-old wing out of Arkansas, was drafted by the Boston Celtics with the 38th pick of the 2023 NBA draft after Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens traded back from No. 25 in the first round several times to add to the team’s trove of assets.
Standing at 6 feet, 7 inches with a 7-foot-3 wingspan, Walsh brings athleticism and defense to a Boston roster in need of his help after the trade that sent veteran point guard Marcus Smart to the Washington Wizards. The former Razorback has shown versatility in guarding both perimeter players and those around the rim, but he has some work to do to get his jumper right at the next level.
