Cason Wallace’s template is Jure Holiday 2.0. No matter from the perspective of playing style or technology, he is not ashamed of this template. He averaged 15 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game. Yes, there is nothing to be picky about. It can be said that various small details supported the team and led this low-talented Kentucky to the NCAA tournament. Considering the fierce competition in the SEC division this year, it is not easy. After all, there are more than 3 possible lottery rookies in this division alone. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most competitive division for NCAA rookies this year.

Cason Wallace has few technical flaws and is suitable for any formation. Occasionally, he can lead the team to victory by himself. He is a player that all team coaches will like. On the other hand, Wallace does not have any link with great skills. Advantage, which leads to him being able to score a lot of points efficiently when he is in good condition, but when the defensive team focuses on marking up, he cannot break through and easily score points, and must pass the ball. At this time, if his teammates can give With fire support, it is easy to win a big victory. On the contrary, if the teammates are not in good condition, the score is easy to be overtaken or even reversed. It is also obvious from here that it is difficult for Cason Wallace to lead the team to win by himself. At the next NBA level, he will not be the team’s first ball-holding option, and may be the team’s main player. Best second or third supporting role. Judging from the data, Cason Wallace’s offensive efficiency is extremely high. After the half-court battle, he has a shooting rate as high as 60%, and his three-point shooting after receiving the ball has a 35% level performance, with very few defects. Except for the slightly poor self-offensive efficiency, other items are at the level of the first class of the NCAA, and basically you can plug and play after entering the NBA.

Cason Wallace’s offensive skills are only about 70 points, but his defensive skills can be as high as 90 points, but in the current NBA, offense is far greater than defense, especially the scale of defense is very limited by the referees. This more or less affects his value in the modern basketball system. Defense is very important. The biggest gap between a top team and a good team lies in defense. Defense can bring more offensive and defensive transitions and open offense throughout the court. This kind of offensive efficiency is better than half-court attack. A few offensive and defensive transitions can quickly open up the score, but for a lottery team, they usually need a ball-handler who can drive the team’s offense more than defense, so Cason Wallace’s draft pick is destined to not be the best. front. But as a secondary with the potential to defend the lock, Cason Wallace is currently top-notch as a secondary on the team. Here’s another look at how strong Cason Wallace’s defense is.

So is there any chance to break through? It is possible in terms of talent, but there are still relatively few examples of how the Thunder’s SGA can eventually become the core of the team. The seniors Maxey and Keldon Johnson seem to be the second or third person, especially Cason Wallace With a low-key and gentle personality, all-round basketball skills that don’t steal the brilliance, the chances of finally going in the direction of the second person are relatively high. But in recent years, there have indeed been many examples of Haliburton, Brunson, and Darius Garland becoming talents through reverse training, so Cason Wallace still has a high potential.

An excellent deputy with potential for further development. In the 2022 draft, Dyson Daniels is firmly selected in the top 10, and F. Wagner in 2021 is also in the top 10. But in this 2023, Cason Wallace’s The name has never been able to break into the top 10 discussions of the lottery, which also confirms the strength of this year’s draft. It is really a pity for him. In any other year, it is a proper middle lottery favorite. . In terms of this year’s draft, the Mavericks, Thunder, and Jazz, who are late in the lottery and lack efficient players in the backcourt, will be very suitable teams. The Tyrannosaurus and Magic, which already have similar players on the bench, are not very good places. It is likely that their development will be severely frustrated due to lack of possession of the ball and playing time.
