This coming season will be a unique challenge for Boston Celtics rookie Jordan Walsh. Last year the 19-year-old was a key part of an exciting Sweet Sixteen run in the NCAA tournament with the Arkansas Razorbacks. Just a few months later, he’ll look to crack Boston’s rotation as the Celtics gear up for a deep postseason run.
Like any NBA rookie, it will take time for Walsh to acclimate to the professional level. The competition across the board is bigger, faster, and more polished than what he’s experienced thus far in his career. Even the most high-profile No. 1 picks need months or even seasons to get used to this new challenge.
That doesn’t mean Walsh can’t make a positive impact with Boston, though. The Texan wing can earn consistent minutes by focusing on a few key parts of his game. Let’s take a closer look at what might be in store for the Celtics rookie.
