    Walker is definitely a great signing and outside of injury concern, I genuinely don't get the concern about him. Best option available at center.

    Is there any way that you can summarize these? Some of them are really long

    Thank you

    Walker Kessler is pretty good already, he could also get better.

    He defends hard. Blocks lots of shots. Rebounds really well. Can be a league leading offensive rebounder. He showed flashes of a 3 pt shot last year - if he develops this, it totally changes his career trajectory.

    He hasn't anchored a top defence yet even though he is a top 3 rim protector, but the Jazz weren't trying to win during his time there. He hasn't been injured as much as it looks because the Jazz were tanking and kept him out quite a bit. It seems last year's operation wasn't necessary but just something they decided to do because the Jazz were tanking.

    That's pretty much the gist of it all.
