Ja’Kobe Walter’s willingness to let it fly is what the shooting-starved Raptors need

Chris Lambert of Raptors Rapture argues that Ja'Kobe Walter's aggressive perimeter shooting provides the Toronto Raptors with the exact floor spacing they need. Following Toronto's 117-94 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lambert highlighted Walter as a major bright spot, noting his 22-point performance on 5-of-8 shooting from three-point range in his first start of the season.

Lambert writes that Walter's high volume of three-point attempts is essential for addressing the Raptors' perimeter scoring struggles. While noting Walter also contributes defensively and on the glass, the writer suggests his early third-year leap could significantly raise his value ahead of potential rookie extension talks next summer.
