Jabari Walker impresses in first NBA combine game
With each day that goes by, it looks more and more unlikely that Jabari Walker will not return to Boulder next season.
As the NBA draft waits right around the corner, Walker and others headed for the NBA combine and the first set of games was on Thursday.
In the first action for Walker, he walked away with an impressive set of numbers on the box score and got noticed in a big way already.
Walker finished with 16 points and seven rebounds in the game while coming off of the bench for Team Curry, and Walker even played the second-most minutes out of anybody on the team.

Walker was already a pretty common choice as a second-round pick in some recent mock drafts, so an impressive performance at the combine will only help his case.
He flashed his athleticism quite a bit, including on a streaking play where he finished for the basket at the rim.

It has only been one day, but Walker has already drawn a number of eyes and his measurables also came out rather well.

We will be keeping close tabs on Walker’s performance at the NBA combine, and at this rate, it would be shocking if he returns to the Buffs next season.
