Some NBA mock drafts have Kentucky freshman guard Cason Wallace dropping out of the lottery. However, Matt Babcock — a basketball analyst, scout and advisor — really likes the “two-way” potential Wallace has that not every draft eligible player has.
Wallace is also one of the players that has been invited by the NBA to attend the draft ceremony.
“He’s terrific on the defensive end and does many little things contributing to winning,” Babcock said. “On the offensive end, I believe he has more in his bag than he was able to show this past season at Kentucky.
“Like TyTy Washington’s role the year before, Wallace played primarily off the ball due to his lack of size due to Sahvir Wheeler’s need to play on the ball. However, I think Wallace has the potential to become a bit more dynamic as an on-ball creator and point guard.
“And if he does, that’s where he can really tap into his long-term potential.

Whoever nabs him, hopefully the Thunder, has themselves a Marcus Smart-like player. I can see Dort and Wallace down the stretch terrorizing the guards ot their opponent, with Chet serving as the backstop.
