It hasn’t all been smooth sailing, but Jabari Walker has slowly put together a solid rookie season for the Portland Trail Blazers.
The former CU Buffs men’s basketball forward is averaging 2.9 points and two rebounds per game, and on Friday he scored a career-high 14 in Portland’s loss to the Chicago Bulls. Walker’s previous high was 11 against the Indiana Pacers back in January.
Walker, who was the 57th overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft, impressed in the summer league, and while he’s still not receiving many minutes with the Blazers, his development remains on a strong trajectory.
At Colorado, Walker played two seasons and was first-team All-Pac-12 as a sophomore.
