The Indiana Pacers played their first 2024 summer league game on Friday, and Jarace Walker had a solid outing. But he expects better.
LAS VEGAS — Jarace Walker's 2024 summer league debut featured many of the things he hoped it would, yet the young forward still hopes to be better in upcoming games.
Walker added in some big shots late, including a tidy off-the-dribble jumper that put Indiana up by 10 before. His communication was noticeable from the sidelines. His teammates pointed out both of those things as they discussed Walker's performance in the following days. The Houston product mentioned that he feels way more comfortable heading into his second season. It's obvious from watching, and listening, during his games that he's more secure is his skills. He looks up the court in transition to make plays and fire accurate passes. All of that is on top of his efforts to be more of a leader.
Walker was scoring on some impressive cuts and duck ins. His outside shot wasn't falling — he went 0/3 from deep — but he still found a route to an efficient night thanks to his rim finishing and free throws. His 25 points came from 18 shot attempts.
