I believe that there will be some stars or good starters chosen after pick #10. I just hope that we get one at #9.

Walker’s ball handling is light years better and he was 98 percentile in isolation scoring this year. His offensive endpoint is going to be much higher than Shumpert in my opinion. Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

But, that's an incomplete picture and there is a ton to like. To me he's at minimum a 2-position quality defender, with the ability to switch to the 3 based on match-up. Offensively, I'm not sure how you are categorizing but I see him as 2-3 level scorer. He's a probable starter, if not a high level player. A downside comparison may be Ricky Davis.

Haven't listened yet but the stepien has a new pod out covering Lonnie Walker, Troy Brown and Zhaire Smith. These guys are very thorough.
