NBA Draft: Luka Doncic rises to first in 2018 NBA Redraft

Lonnie Walker drops a few spots in our 2018 redraft, coming in at 29th instead of his original 18th. Walker came out of Florida and joined a San Antonio Spurs team flush with guards, giving Walker a tight room to break into as a rookie.

Over time Walker has done just that, although he is still awaiting his true breakout season. Just a garbage-time player in his first season, last year he averaged 25.4 points per game. His 3-point accuracy regressed to 35.5 percent (now 36.9 percent for his career) but his free-throw percentage actually went up, probably a good sign all-in-all.

The future is still unclear for Walker, who could consolidate the shooting and become a solid scoring option in the Spurs’ rotation. Alternatively, it could stay inconsistent, and his lack of other elite offerings would doom him to an end-of-the-bench role.

In our redraft, it is the Brooklyn Nets who take a swing on him late with Pick No. 29. In the real-life 2018 Draft, they took Dzanan Musa, a player who was sent packing and has likely seen his NBA career end. Here they get a scoring guard with a much higher floor.
