Thanks for mentioning!
Here is the box score for the Celtics' 3rd preseason game of the 2018-19 NBA season-
Cleveland Cavaliers 102 - Boston Celtics 95
Walt helped fuel a late rally by the Celtics, but they still fell short. He had 11 points al in the 4th quarter in 12 minutes of playing time, plus 2 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and a block. He was second best on the Celtics in +/- numbers.
In the Celtics' 3 preseason games, Walt is averaging 5.3 ppg (9th highest on the team in limited playing time), shooting 54.5%. He has a 2-way contract, and is trying to make the NBA team's final roster.
There are a lot of twitter comments, mostly from Celtics fans who seem impressed with Walt so far!
Some of the most hyperbolic ones
