2023 NBA Mock Draft

Jarace Walker. player. 100. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Forward. Houston. 7

Another reason I hope the Pistons don’t take Jarace Walker is that my computer auto-corrects his name to “garage” every time I type it, which is pretty annoying.

I think the Pacers would be happy with this, as Walker is going to be a player in the NBA, has upside, but also has one of the most reliable floors in the draft as a guy who can defend multiple spots and act as a passing connector on offense.

He’s a natural fit at power forward with Myles Turner, as he is also a very good defender and has the strength to defend centers as well as forwards.
