He has 12 offensive rebounds and 9 defensive. He has become arguably the best rebounder in the NBA over the past few months. He flipped a switch at some point and has become a monster rebounder.

ETA: He has as many rebounds as minutes played in this game.

ETAagain: And he has five blocks.

And to put in perspective how plus minus isn’t always the best stat…. He was minus 18.

Yeah. They're playing weird lineups and letting the rookies play right now. They're in full tank mode and shooting for Flagg in the draft.

Walker is in damn fine company with that stat line: Kareem, Hakeem, Dikembe, Shaq, and a couple more. He even has a distinction over them......he's the only player in that club to lose the game when putting up a stat line like that.

he had 25 pts 18 rebounds on 100% shooting the other night.

Wilt did that 3 times, Jokic once, and Walker once. only players to have that stat line.

Shame his and Jabari’s guards were Wendell, KD and Flan. Could have been a deep run team with a little shoring up on offense at guard.

We didn’t have the guards to stop Miami’s deep, extremely guard heavy lineup nor facilitate like we needed to put those two in a position to succeed.

They missed a ton of open shots and bunnies. Not really an indictment on them as much as just the goofiness of the tourney. You could say the guard play wasn’t good enough to alleviate a rough game from those two though

You're not wrong but Walker in his one year here was not an offensive force. His thing was rebounds and blocking and he's had moments in the NBA starting to put together an offensive touch.

The guard play and Jabari being passive doomed us a lot more than Kessler did IMO
