Boston Celtics rookie wing Jordan Walsh was selected as the Celtics’ 38th overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft out of the University of Arkansas. This 6-foot-7 forward boasts a remarkable 7-foot-3 wingspan, which he puts to work on the defensive end of the court.
Walsh displayed a level of offensive ability that few among us were expecting to see so soon during the NBA’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League, leading the Sin City Celtics with an average of 16.0 points per game and a 40.7 percent 3-point shooting efficiency rate. Team reporter Taylor Snow put together some information to get to know the former Razorback better earlier this summer.
Let’s dive into five fast facts about the Texan wing.
