Earlier this season, that squad went 15 and 5 in those starts, proving he could hang at a high level. But coach Joe Mozilla mixes things up fast, and Walsh is back in the mix now. Over the past seven games, he's locking 20.2 minutes a night on average. In two days' win over the Hornets, Walsh dropped nine points on four for four shooting, grabbed six rebounds, snagged the steel, and locked down the mellow. Ball in the second half, his defense part turned over and shifted momentum. Team mates like Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum lit him up after the game.

Tatum praised his pro mindset crashing boards, picking up full court and bringing energy whenever called. Even benched, Walsh kept grinding in practice and film study, drawing advice from vets like Brown and Peyton Pritchard who'd been through it.
