Cason Wallace Rumors

Serge Ibaka: Who's the best defender in the NBA? Chet Holmgren: I think Cason Wallace is the best defender. Ibaka: Cason Wallace the best defender right now in the NBA? Holmgren: Yeah. Ibaka: Wow. Holmgren: If you're looking for somebody who not only can defend on ball, but off ball in the passing lanes, he can hound you 94 feet. He can get steals, but he can also play solid and just force you to miss a shot.

Antonio Daniels: It can't be a situation where you're allowing Lu Dort and you're allowing Cason Wallace and you're allowing Alex Caruso and some of these other guys to get extremely physical with the stars of the opposing team. But the moment that that physicality is put back toward the Oklahoma City Thunder when they're on the offensive end, now you get a softer whistle.
