Cason Wallace Isn't Playing Like A Rookie.
Спорт
Every team that has aspirations to be great has that one player who’s a major X factor. Despite not putting up big numbers, or being a top 3 option in the offense. They do the things that don’t show up in the statistics that matter just as much as what shows up in the box score. For the OKC Thunder I believe they found that player when they traded up to the 10th overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft to select Kentucky guard Cason Wallace. I’ve been on record saying Wallace is the best one and done defensive guard prospect I’ve ever evaluated. And he’s been great for OKC to start this season. Showing why many including myself were so high on him going into that draft. But while I believe Wallace is that glue guy for the OKC Thunder as they look to build a contender around their young core. I also think he can be even more than that.
Cason Wallace is a well rounded guard. On offense his game is very polished, he’s solid to good as a shooter, finisher, and passer. While not elite or perfect as a scorer, he has very few flaws. He thrives off the ball, and is competent on the ball. Making him the ideal guard to have next to Shai Gilgeous Alexander and Chet Holmgren. But what truly makes him special is his defense. His feel for the game is well beyond his years. His technique is very polished. He’s advanced both on and off the ball. He has a high motor. He’s a good shot blocker for a guard. He has active hands. He’s physical at the point of attack.
Cason Wallace has all the tools to be the next great connecting two way guard. Following in the footsteps of guys like Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, and Marcus Smart. Only time will tell when it comes to how good Wallace will be in the NBA. But I have all the confidence in the world that he will be a high-level contributor for a very long time based off the intangibles and traits he shows on tape.

My name is Noah Terranova. On this channel I make videos breaking down the film of basketball players in both long term and single game contexts. I use a combination of advanced stats, basic stats, tracking stats, and what I take away from watching the games to form my evalutions. My goal is to give my own perspective on the game with my own little twist on how I choose to present it.

You make a great content, and you have a great understanding of basketball. The problem that I see with your content is that it kinda like a podcast, but not really, I mean that you don’t really use any graphs or show any plays often, that will make it more interesting to person that watches, but your content is still more for casual NBA fans who aren’t going to lesson to long podcasts, because you talk most of the time and what the players role and how he plays, and most hardcore fans probably already know that ( there is nothing bad in your content being casual, I don’t watch a lot of basketball myself, so it helps me understand the NBA better ), So if you want to get more views, you should make more visual content, while comparing that player to other players ( so the casuals would understand how good that player compared to other, because when you say “good scorer” about bench player and “good scorer” about all star casual sees it the same ), it will make your channel more interesting to wider audience and you will get more views, good example of channel that makes a similar content to you is “alex hoops” ( you should learn from him ), I hope you the best to succeed at youtube, sorry for spelling mistakes English is not my main language, Good luck
Good breakdown, thanx for the vid

@@DarealmenxceMann's? There was nothing to replace with Mann, what are you talking about? Guys, you have to accept this reality. Presti cannot sign Dorts upcoming extention while also keeping Giddey, JDub and Chet. Its a simple math problem. So we drafted Cason, a nearly identical player with a higher ceiling and who we wont need to worry about extending until after those other guys resign. Everyone wants to keep Dort, but theres a CBA we have to follow and we cant keep our core AND Dort. Unless Dort is willing to sign for like 5 mill a year. But at this point hes probably the best defensive guard in the NBA and putting up nearly 20.

Dort does seem like the odd man out if Cason can fill the role. Dort would have great trade value. Throw him and a couple picks and we could get a really solid big, J Dub shouldn't be playing PF all game or against certain lineups. We need a big that can defend, set picks and rebound. Dort would be the most practical piece to get that

@@JustinBreckenridge What have you been wathing? Dort has been a top 3 offensive option this season. But guys, again, this is far more about the new CBA and the fact that we cant afford what he will most likely ask or be offered.

@@jahbless4099Yah, he's clearly going to be traded and it has more to do with contract management than anything else. Many of us tried telling people this last season and since then, the FO verified it by drafting Cason, a near mirror image of Dort, except he has a wider offensive skill set and ceiling than Dort.
@JimBob-jr5up

@@spirituallyoutmymind8006Because we have too many contracts of core guys to manage over the next few years and were not going to keep Dort at the cost of Giddet, Chet or Jdub, which is what happens if we keep him. Hence why we drafted Cason, because he is identical to Dort, but his contract will be extended after those other guys.

All the goat nonsense is getting really boring.
Excellent vid, I feel like they need him to take a nice efficient 7-12 shots a night or more, feel like more scoring wings since defense is pretty solid all around
