Lithuanian League team Rytas Vilnius officially announced that the team has signed backcourt scorer Jordan Walker. Walker is considered a target player for some Champions League teams to focus on, and his arrival can also greatly enhance the competitiveness of Rytas Vilnius' lineup.

Walker was born in August 1999 and is 25 years old, 180cm tall and weighs 77kg. He is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. In his rookie season, Walker played for the NBA Development League team Texas Legend, a subsidiary of the Dallas Mavericks. He made a total of 36 appearances in the NBA Development League, including 19 of which were the starters, and averaged 29.2 minutes per game, with averaging 20 points, 2.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. He shot 43% from the field, 41.3% from three-pointers, and 85.5% from free throws. Walker's performance in the NBA Development League is quite good, and he has also shown his strong personal scoring ability, outstanding pass and organizational ability. Considering that he holds a lot of ball rights, he is also a pretty good performance in maintaining such shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage. However, due to his figure, Walker's contribution to the defensive end is indeed relatively limited, which should be an important factor that he cannot attract the attention of NBA teams.

Walker played for the Greek League team ASP Promitheas Patras last season. He played 25 times for the team in all competitions, averaging 28.8 minutes per game, averaging 20.1 points, 2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.1 steals, 2.9 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 43.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 41.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 92.1%. Walker's performance in the Greek League and the Champions League (BCL) is quite good. He has shown his strong scoring ability, his passing and organizational ability are still online, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are also very stable. He even made an amazing performance of 54 points in a single game in the Greek league, and he is also one of the most powerful players in the Greek league.

Walker is undoubtedly a player with good scoring skills. His offensive ability is indeed quite outstanding. What he needs is a bigger stage and better performance opportunity. I wonder what kind of performance Walker will perform next season. Can he maintain his super scoring ability and attract the attention of some European giant teams? If he can show such scoring ability in the Champions League, he might have the opportunity to attract the attention of some NBA teams and get contracts from NBA teams.
