Summary:

Cason Wallace is an athletic, energetic playmaker that can reliably run the team at the point and make hustle plays to help his team on both ends of the floor.  He also showed a solid ability to shoot and defend this past season. He will need to continue to show that he can reliably create his own shot to score on a consistent basis.  Currently, he projects to be a lottery pick in the 2023 draft.
