Walker, Jabari Colorado  6'8" 213 PF soph. 

Walker averaged 14.6 points and 9.4 rebounds per game in 2021-22. He was named First Team All Pac 12. He is an excellent rebounder and a plus defender (Colorado was 4.3 points per 100 poss. better defensively with Walker on the floor). Walker led the Pac 12 in defensive rebounds. He shot 39.9% (career) from beyond the college arc. His decision making improved from his freshman to sophomore season but overall he had way more turnovers (104) than assists (54). Walker is a career 78.3% free throw shooter. He posted a pedestrian 32.5" max. vert. at the NBA Draft Combine. His speed was average to slightly above average. His wingspan is 6'10.75".  ...Jabari Walker is the son of former NBA player Samaki Walker. Walker may have worked himself into a draft spot after the NBA Draft Combine. We think he deserves a look in the early to mid second round. 

 

Our best advice: in 2017, the 41st pick was Tyler Dorsey. We advised, "draft Thomas Bryant."
