Nah... gonna have to play enough games. Maybe he has that type of impact but it will take him a minute to figure **** out. In this format where its playoff style head to head I'm not sure how high I would go with any rookie or unproven playoff player this early.

He was likely going to win until his Uncle called him 37 times and sent 63 text messages. Hard to line up putts when you are thinking about who you should take in a fake draft.

I thought Walker might last a little while longer.

Wemby is cute on paper but it will take a couple years before he’s a winning playoff guy. For this exercise id go with someone more proven… but it’s a fun pick.

Walker was a guy I was planning to target all along. I figured 3rd or 4th round before he started getting looked at seriously - which is one of the reasons that I was good with making the trade for Tatum.

Of the guys I had targeted for about that range, only Franz Wagner went before I really expected him to. Thought maybe he’d fall a bit more than he did.

I think Wembanyama will be fine - even as a rookie. He has the ability to contribute early and will be given every opportunity.

Walker wasn’t making it past 45.

On any other fan board Walker probably goes in the 80s

I don’t doubt it, but then again - every other board is going to overdraft their rookies who were top 3 in ROtY the past season and also expect a bump in production from them as a full-time starter as well.

When I look at starting 5’s, I think Walker’s upside is more intriguing than almost any of the other young guys out there, and outside of my top 5 rated guys (Jokic, Embiid, Davis, Adebayo & Sabonis) he was the one I liked best for the team I’m looking to build.

Going before Rudy is a little wild... even for here. I do think he could really level up this season though.

I’m not going to name any other guys that I was looking at, but most of them have age or injury concerns.

There’s two guys that I think should be rated over Kessler, but they’re not the right fit for me.

Walker is a force on defense, and good enough on offense to be valuable. I think he’s going to be great as the full-time starter this year.
