The most underrated player on the Thunder this season is the 2nd youngest player on the team.ย
Fans have always had high expectations for Cason Wallace, as 1 of the 2 players on their roster taken in the top 10 of the draft.
Then again, when you play behind SGA and Jalen Williams, you're most likely going to be relegated to the bench.
But with his 3-point shooting and effort on defense, Wallace managed to carve out a consistent role on one of the deepest teams in the league, and his minutes prove it.
๐ธ Regular Season: 28.6 MPG
๐ธ Playoffs: 22.7 MPG
๐ธ NBA Finals: 23.3 MPG
While most coaches trim their rotations during the playoffs, Mark Daigneault's trust in Wallace in the Finals has paid off big time.
๐ Hit 3 crucial threes in Game 5
๐ Played defense at an All-Defensive Team level
The best part about him?
He'll only be 21 next season.ย
If you thought OKC was scary already, this is just the beginning.
