High-usage guard with proven scoring burst, but his SIU role still needs context
Walsh is worth watching because he brings **shot-making upside** and a track record of explosive scoring—most notably multiple 50-point games in high school—which suggests a guard who can take over stretches when he gets hot.[1] Publicly available college stat pages for Southern Illinois list him as a **2025-26 Salukis guard**, but they currently provide limited production detail, so the key question is how quickly that scoring translates against Division I defense.[2][3][5] If your team wants a perimeter player with confidence, volume scoring instincts, and a proven killer instinct, he’s intriguing; the main fit check is whether he can consistently defend and create at the next level.[1][2]
