TIER 6 · #239 OVERALLDepth piece — #109 among guards

Ja'Kobe Walter is ranked #109 among 12 eligible NBA guards. He profiles as a bench or matchup-based option — draft late or stream when the schedule lines up. His final five games came in 2.5 points per game below his average. His minutes held steady (27.4/game vs 20.4 on the season), so the drop appears related to lower per-minute production rather than reduced playing time.
