Although the NBA season is only a few months away, some players are already hitting the gym to improve their skills and get better in every aspect of their game. It takes a tremendous amount of dedication and focus, and Oklahoma City Thunder Guard Cason Wallace has just that.
In a recent article by Michael Timmins (@iFilmHoopers), Thunder guard Cason Wallace can be seen working on a variety of shooting and dribbling drills with his brother, Keaton Wallace (who plays for the Atlanta Hawks).
Cason is now entering his second NBA season out of Kentucky, where he was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 10th overall pick, but the Thunder ended up making a deal where they sent their 12th overall pick in Dereck Lively II and a traded player exception to Dallas for Cason Wallace and Davis Bertans.
During his freshman year, Cason averaged nearly seven points, two assists and one steal. While those numbers may not seem crazy on paper, Cason was a vital part of the Thunder’s success.
Many times when Cason was on the court, he was tasked with defending some of the opposition’s best players, as Cason’s defense is one of, if not the best part of his game. It was because of his impact on both ends of the court that he was named to the All-Rookie Second Team last season.
Now, as Cason enters this 2024-25 season, his role and minutes will certainly be increased as the OKC Thunder look to return to the top of the Western Conference and even further into the NBA Playoffs.
