The 76ers signed the former Trail Blazers forward star with a two-way contract. Is this his few chance?

According to reports from ESPN authoritative reporter Shams Charania, former Portland Trail Blazers forward star Jabari Walker, who was previously in free agency, is expected to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, who will receive a two-way contract from the 76ers.

Walker was born in July 2002 and is about to turn 23 years old. He is 201cm tall and weighs 108kg. He is the forward player from the University of Colorado selected by the Trail Blazers in the 57th pick in the second round in the 2022 NBA Draft. Walker has spent the past three seasons with the Trail Blazers. In the NBA regular season last season, Walker made a total of 60 appearances in 82 games, averaging 12.5 minutes per game, averaging 5.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.4 fouls. He shot 51.5%, three-point shooting percentage 38.9%, and 69% free throw shooting percentage.

Walker's performance last season was actually quite normal, and his playing time had decreased significantly, which also led to some declines in his various data. However, with limited playing time and not very stable, Walker still showed rich offensive methods and comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. His offensive efficiency and his three-point shooting percentage can be maintained at a high level, which is not an easy task. Although Walker lacks sufficient personal defense ability on the defensive end, he is also worthy of recognition in terms of enthusiasm, and he can also play a certain role in the defensive end. If Walker can get more playing time and a higher tactical position, I believe his data will be more gorgeous, and his presence and contribution on the court will be further improved.

From the actual situation, Walker is also a player with very good comprehensive abilities. He is also a player with distinctive characteristics and very comprehensive offensive end. If Walker is measured by the ability of two-way contract players, his situation in all aspects is definitely greater than most two-way contracts, and he is definitely the best among two-way contract players. For the 76ers, it seems they are still looking for reliable improvements for the departure forward Guerschon Yabusele. Previously, they signed former Brooklyn Nets forward star Trendon Watford with a basic salary contract, but it seems that they are still not satisfied with this, which should be a key factor in their signing of Walker. For Walker, considering that next season is his fourth year in the NBA, this is also his last chance to get a two-way contract. Therefore, he needs to seize the opportunity to prove his strength, otherwise it will be difficult for him to stay in the NBA.
