He had an injury that slowed him down in the second half of the season. Most popular pre draft comp was Jrue Holiday.Yes, Wallace was projected to be the best or at least of of the best on ball defenders in the draft. About a month before the draft i thought he would be the guy teams would fight for and trade up to take. The month leading up to the draft it was Bilal that really shot up draft boards. Couple that with the negative news on Whitmore and that’s how #10 became the spot where multiple teams were fighting to get Wallace. Makes perfect sense why OKC was willing to take Bertans just to ensure they got their man
Its a win for us though considering the need for multiple players and the quality haul we got. Love Omax and D-Live. The future is bright
