Sam Walters adds size and shooting upside to SMU’s frontcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Sam Walters gave SMU a stretch-forward look at 6-foot-9, averaging 2.6 points and 1.0 rebounds in 24 games while hitting 34.9% of his threes.[6][4] The appeal is his fit: he can space the floor for a big and brings modern, switchable size rather than classic back-to-the-basket center production.[6] He looks like a useful fit for teams that need a development piece with perimeter gravity, but he is not yet a high-usage offensive anchor.[6][4]
