Jordan Walsh makes it look easy now after being drafted by the Celtics and shining in summer league. But when he played well in high school, fans would often mock him for having Alopecia. Then he saw a video of Charlie Villanueva that changed everything.
), I’ll have the chance to get even better and learn some things from them,” said Walsh. “I’m just expecting to go in and work as hard as I can. I want everything I do to contribute to winning this next banner for the Celtics.”As the second round of the NBA Draft began last month, Villanueva was a bit surprised to see Walsh still on the board. Walsh wasn’t invited to the green room in New York, so Villanueva opened his home up to Walsh and hosted his draft viewing party instead.
Villanueva told him anything that’s voluntary is mandatory. First guy in the gym, last guy out. According to Villanueva, it’s the one way to stick around for a while. “For me, whatever the team needed help with, whatever they needed to win, I took that on personally and wanted to become the guy to help us win,” said Walsh.
“It’s crazy because a lot of people compare us and I want Jordan to be his own person,” Villanueva said. “There’s a lot of comparisons because we’re both light-skinned with Alopecia.”
