2024 Fantasy Outlook
Following a modest rookie campaign, Walker stepped into a meaningful role during the 2023-24 season, albeit largely due to the unavailability of other players. He finished just inside the top 250 in standard leagues, averaging 8.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes per game. Although Walker's showing was promising, examining his minutes earlier in the season might be a better gauge of what to expect heading into his third season, especially after the addition of Deni Avdija. Assuming the Trail Blazers are relatively healthy, it's hard to see Walker logging more than 20 minutes on a nightly basis, making him an afterthought outside of deeper leagues. However, should Portland fall out of playoff contention sooner rather than later, Walker could be a nice late-season pickup for anyone needing a bump in rebounding and points. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Jabari Dominic Walker was born in July of 2002 in Wichita, Kansas. Walker is the son of Jo Dudley and Samaki Walker. His father, Samaki, played for five NBA teams over a 10-year pro career. Jabari has a brother and sister who have also played college ball. Walker played his first three years of high school basketball at Campbell Hall School in Los Angeles. For his senior year, he transferred to AZ Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona. As a four-star recruit in 2020, Walker committed to the University of Colorado, where he played for two seasons and studied Communications. After averaging 7.6 points and 4.3 rebounds over 14.2 minutes per game, Walker was named to the 2020-21 Pac-12 Conference All Freshman Team. As a sophomore in 2021-22, Walker started all 33 games and delivered 14.6 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers over 28.1 minutes per contest. That production led to Walker being named to the All-Pac-12 First Team. He then declared himself eligible for the 2022 NBA Draft where he was selected with the 57th overall pick by the Portland Trail Blazers. Fans can follow the forward on Twitter via @jabari521.

Walker will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Walker will retreat to a bench role due to Donovan Clingan entering the starting lineup. Walker has not been much of a factor as far as the stats are concerned of late, averaging just 3.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Deeply ingrained shooting struggles
FPortland Trail Blazers
March 5, 2024
Walker has connected on just 26.2 percent of 111 catch-and-shoot threes this season.
ANALYSIS
Among players with at least 100 such attempts, only Russell Westbrook, who is currently out with a fractured hand, is less efficient than Walker. The 21-year-old's shot diet mostly consists of putbacks and attempts around the basket, as even unguarded three-point attempts are yielding a lowly 24.3 percent clip.
