Walters broke his hand in March of last year which messed up his summer prep from what I read. He's only 23 so there's still a chance for him to catch on with a team and I would say he may end up in the D League where he can raise his value back up if he performs well. My issue with him is that he has short arms for a guy who is 6-4. He has just under a 6-4 wingspan. He's not fast or athletic either. Still he's smart and highly skilled. Sounds like a guy that would play well in a system like the Triangle. Nothing to lose sleep over tho. If the Knicks scouts have a high opinion of him we don't know.

He protected the ball well and conducted the offense like a veteran, but Larry Drew recently banished the second-round sensation to the end of the bench. Wolters has the size to defend opposing guards, and the early returns on his defense have been outstanding.

Like I said dude is only 23 and could just need a coach and GM that is willing to work with him and allow him to grow into a role. It amazes me how impatient people can be with PG's considering how hard the position can be for young players. Walters reminds me of a big Luke Ridnour. He gets overlooked cuz he doesn't do exciting things or flashy stuff that gets to the highlight videos.

Nate's a good player--an NBA player who if he can smooth out his jumpshot has substantial upside. He went from a great position--getting PT where he could play free--to sitting on the bench in back of 3 guys. The bottom line on a team vying for a playoff spot--is Nate Wolters a guy you can count on in your second unit to hit a tough shot--or make an important play while the kid has been sitting all year. He's going to need rhythm game minutes minutes to get his play back so his best bet is to either find a tanking team who can offer 15+ good consistent minutes OR go to the D league after someone from his position gets called up.
Suggest to take a look at Tyler Johnson of the Heat. I saw him the other day and he looked better in that one game than I have seen any of their smallish guards play all year. I think that is what Nate could bring to a team RIP Crushalot😞

They obviously have ideas that we don't have a clue about ... see Admunson etc and the 10 day crew. so here is what phil is thinking ....

Maybe the kid just needs a system and role that fits his skills and playing time to actually get his confidence back. No one was giving Galloway much consideration and look at him now. |
