A series of strong early-season performances vaulted Walter into the discussion as one of the draft's top prospects, showcasing his shot-making ability, impressive perimeter defense and competitive mettle. While it's hard to earnestly project him as an on-ball creator due to his limited handle and average explosiveness, his appeal early in the draft stems from his reliability and the high floor promised by his skill set and intangibles. There's a realistic, straightforward development path for Walter to become an elite shooting wing who adds value on the defensive end, which would be a coup in an uncertain draft. Anything else Walter can add to his offensive profile enhances his upside. -- Jeremy Woo
