"When I score, I low-key forget what happened. I'm so focused on getting back on defense."
"Honestly, I be forgetting what happened on offense,"
"I feel like everybody's always excited when they dunk on somebody or hit a three. If I just hit a shot, I never celebrate. I always immediately just run back to, like, play defense."
Jordan Walsh, in his third NBA season, has earned a consistent starting role with the Boston Celtics primarily because of his defense. He routinely defends opponents' top scorers and has matched up against elite players such as Tyrese Maxey and Donovan Mitchell. Walsh scored a career-high 22 points on perfect 8-of-8 shooting against the Wizards, following a 4-of-4 outing versus the Knicks. He rarely celebrates offense, immediately running back on defense after scoring, and his defensive focus coincides with a 10-game starting streak and an 8-2 run during that span.
