Upsides

• Super dynamic 3-point shooter, he is the best movement shooter in the class and excellent at pulling up threes off the catch or off the dribble (although he does the latter much less often)

• He is a better shot creator than people give him credit for, he has good footwork and can score from anywhere on the court

• Excellent motor, he is super competitive on both ends of the court

•Solid point of attack defender, he can comfortably handle guards, and even some wings when it’s needed

Downsides

• He really isn’t a good passer at this stage, he missed a lot of reads at Baylor and didn’t have great pass execution

• Handle need some work, he needs to learn to control his dribble more

Conclusion

will add scouting report soon

Best fits: Charlotte, Detroit, Orlando

Worst fits: Nowhere, he’d be a great fit on any NBA team

Shades of: Malik Monk, Desmond Bane, Kevin Huerter, Max Christie

Ja’Kobe Walter - Baylor (SG - HT: 6’5” - WING: - WT: 190 - A: 18y)

- Good 3 level scorer on or off-ball
- Really efficient scorer. Great percentiles in P&R, transition, spot up, off screens. Not as ISO heavy, but that means he’ll fit in easily.
- Great jump shot, C&S 3s are immaculate
- Solid passer
- Very solid defense
- Good size at the 2
- Shades of Isaiah Joe, Malik Beasley

Spécialiste du 3pts, Walter est avant tout un shooteur qui a démontré à Baylor sa capacité à marquer sous pression grâce à une mécanique fluide et un sacré sang-froid. Il doit encore améliorer son dribble pour prétendre à un rôle supérieur à celui de simple gâchette dans la grande ligue. Même s'il rappelle le style d'un Buddy Hield, il est pour l'instant moins bon finisseur et devra améliorer sa défense latérale, ainsi que sa création de tir. Son dribble ne semble pas si mauvais mais il ne l'a que très rarement mis à contribution, sans doute limité dans sa fonction par le frileux coach des Bears. En tout cas, difficile de faire l'impasse sur Walter, surtout si c'est pour choisir des joueurs plus vieux et moins prometteurs qui font les mêmes choses mais avec 2 ou 3 ans de plus.

Becker select (pertence a Ícaro)

Eu particularmente amo tanto que sou capaz de nem repassar pro dono. Que cara lindo da desgraça.

Player Comparison: Desmond Bane

Ja'Kobe Walter is a baller. It's close between him and Knecht for who is/will be a better bucket getter. I understand his FG% was bad, but I think a lot of it was his shot selection, and while his shot attempts will go down, I think the overall selection will improve.

Defensively there is some potential. I'm not overly confident he'll even be an above average defender, I just know there will be worse defenders than him even in his rookie year. Realistically I see him as a complimentary defender who teams don't pick on, but isn't guarding the best guard.
