Celtics second-round rookie Jordan Walsh showed out in his Summer League debut on Saturday.

The 19-year-old forward scored a team-high 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field and 4-of-6 shooting from deep, adding five rebounds, two steals, and one block in a 99-88 loss to the Heat. Those who watched Walsh play at Arkansas wouldn’t be surprised that he had a few hustle plays on Saturday (he averaged 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks per game in college).

They would be surprised though by how well they shot the ball from deep. In his lone season with the Razorbacks, Walsh shot 27.
