The 2022-23 NBA regular season wrapped up on Sunday. The play-in is set, the playoffs are looming and the other ten teams not included can decommission the tank brigade for the next few months.
Seven Colorado Buffaloes alumni appeared in the NBA this season: Derrick White, Spencer Dinwiddie, Alec Burks, McKinley Wright and Jabari Walker, plus coaches Chauncey Billups and Jamahl Mosley. The last three players, plus the coaches, had their final games on Sunday, so we can start with them.
Jabari Walker was not supposed to play as much he did. He was the 57th pick in the 2022 draft and was a toss-up to even earn a spot on Portland’s 15-man roster.
