Jordan Walsh looks to Paul George to help him grow game with Boston Celtics

In 2023, the Boston Celtics selected Jordan Walsh in the 38th overall pick during the NBA Draft. Hailing from DeSoto, Texas, Walsh has demonstrated his defensive prowess for the Celtics, but his offensive capabilities have yet to be fully realized at the professional level. Despite this, Walsh is determined to elevate his game and contribute more to the team.

In a recent interview with Celtics reporter Taylor Snow, Walsh expressed his desire to create his own shots and become a more rounded player. To achieve this, Walsh plans to seek guidance from one of the NBA's premier offensive talents, promising rookie forward Paul George. During a recent encounter in Los Angeles, Walsh expressed his intention to work with George, specifically requesting a workout session to refine his mid-range pull-up shot, an area that George is renowned for excelling in. Walsh sees George as a valuable resource, citing his veteran presence as an asset to the team.
