Lonnie Walker’s Profile
Lonnie Walker IV, aged 25, spent the first four years of his career with the San Antonio Spurs after being selected 18th overall in the 2018 NBA Draft. Last season, he averaged nearly 10 points in just 17.4 minutes per game. His strength lies in his shooting, particularly from beyond the arc, where he made an impressive 38.4% of his attempts. He has the potential to be a valuable contributor to the team’s success. Walker’s athleticism and versatility could be crucial in specific matchups. His ability to stretch the floor and create scoring opportunities will be an asset.
The Celtics’ Perspective
For the Celtics, adding Walker to their roster makes sense. Despite losing key players like Paul George, they remain a formidable team. Walker’s scoring ability and three-point shooting can provide valuable support off the bench. With a roster returning most of its championship-winning players, the Celtics are aiming for another deep playoff run.
