Both Jarace Walker and Keyonte George graduated from IMG High School, a traditional prestigious school. At that time, Keyonte George was the team’s No. 1 scorer, but the actual performance in the game was more outstanding as the team’s true organizer and defensive leader. Jarace Walker of the lock. Has the body of a beast but also has a ball-handling soul and is a true dugout leader on the team.
Jarace Walker’s game and style of play in high school are very similar to Scottie Barnes, who won the rookie champion a year ago, but the difference in mentality between the two made them start to go to different routes in college. Scottie Barnes, who had just left Monteverde, wanted to be the real ball-handler on the field, so he went to Florida State University. The Raptors who drafted him also tried to make him the team’s main ball-handler. However, this route was gone in the second year. It did not go well, and it still needs to be adjusted in the third quarter to verify whether it is feasible. Jarace Walker, on the other hand, does not have such big ambitions, and chose the development route of a high-position forward. This is destined to lower the upper limit of Jarace Walker, but his technical development will be smoother, and it will be easier to cooperate with the team’s tactics.
The most comfortable combat distance for Jarace Walker is the middle circle near the free throw line. Use the pick-and-roll to launch an offense, which can be used as the end point of mid-range shooting, and can also be used to single out smaller defenders following changing defenses, or use speed to eat slower defenses. At the same time, he has vision, so that he can serve as the offensive launch point of hand-offs, or the setter following receiving the pass, and his functions are very diverse. In the half-court positional battle, he can attack the penalty area very effectively, and the penalty area hit rate is an excellent 62.4%. Although the shooting distance has gradually lengthened during the season, although there are not many three-pointers, they can be regarded as a stable threat. Throughout the season, the open three-pointer shooting rate was 19 of 50, reaching 38%. It can be seen that Jarace Walker has Could be a steady projected threat.
Defense is Jarace Walker’s best performance. He has strong physical strength and speed that can keep up with the average wing player. He is very smart in his position. With a pair of long arms with a wingspan of 7-2, he can defend alone or assist These are the last nightmares any offensive player wants to face. The pick-and-roll defense can defend at least three positions, which is very beneficial for changing defenses.
This season, due to the team’s configuration, Jarace Walker was not given too many opportunities to hold the ball. The University of Houston started with three guards, and they all held a lot of balls. Among them, only Sasser, the main scorer, had three-pointers. Better than Walker, so the allocation of space is not ideal. Compared with Walker’s average of 16.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4 assists in high school, the passing project has hardly been shown in college, but it can be seen from the game that Walker is capable Very good vision, can handle the ball very effectively in the high post. I believe that in the NBA with more space and players with better shooting ability, he can show his excellent passing ability.
Jarace Walker’s decision-making ability is excellent, and he only needs a very short time of possession to decide whether to shoot, cut or pass. His strong body allows him to use a tank to cut into the penalty area, and his 250-pound weight also gives him a great advantage in both offensive and defensive confrontations, but his lack of flexibility makes it difficult for him to sustain in pick-and-roll offenses. The ball, on the perimeter, is prone to being stomped and cut into the path by smaller defenders. His shooting accuracy following dribbling is not enough, which makes his scoring ability not stable, far less eye-catching than passing.
Jarace Walker’s ball path will be very similar to Draymond Green, but with a more complete throwing and passing three threats, or Tobias Harris, who is now in the Seven Sixers, can support a large number of defensive systems and have a certain degree of projection. Due to his poor physical coordination and dribbling ability, it will be difficult for him to become the team’s first ball holder even in the future. Therefore, in this year of excellent talent, the draft momentum has declined a bit in the trial training stage. , but it will be a very good second ball-holding point for the team, and the offensive and defensive skills are very stable, and the floor is very high. The Pistons, Pacers and Jazz, who lack good post forwards, are all very likely teams to pick him.
