Bubba Walther gives Ohio a steady, high-efficiency backcourt engine
Walther projects as a reliable **lead guard**: in the 2024-25 season he averaged **12.3 points**, **3.7 assists**, and **1.5 steals** in **29.7 minutes** while shooting **40.3%** from the field, **36.4%** from three, and **87.3%** at the line, which points to a composed, shot-making floor general rather than a volume-only scorer.[4] What makes him attractive is the combination of efficiency, playmaking, and defensive activity, plus a low-turnover profile relative to his usage, giving him a fit for teams that want a mature, trustworthy guard who can run offense without hijacking it.[4]
