Celtics recall Jordan Walsh from Maine
Fans had a bit of unrealistic expectations for the team's 2nd round selection Jordan Walsh to replace Grant Williams in the team's rotation as a 19 year old rookie. But while the current rotation of Celtics have excelled on the court in Boston, Walsh has been putting in the grind up in Maine. He will be in uniform for the Celetics tonight when they host the San Antonio Spurs.

The rookie out of Arkansas is building a reputation as a skilled defender with a limitless potential NBA ceiling as a defender.
I caught up with one of Jordan Walsh’s G-league teammates — NBA vet Tony Snell. He thinks Walsh could eventually be one of the best defenders in the NBA.

“He can be an excellent, elite defender. He’s gifted in that aspect… he could be a top, first-team All Defense guy.” https://t.co/TdrK1KziRw pic.twitter.com/QmQ2rNwFnZ
