2023 NBA Mock Draft

Pick Analysis. Kentucky. Cason Wallace. 12. Scouting Report. Guard. player. 149

The Thunder can go in so many directions here that thinking about it might make your head spin. Do they really need more young players? Is now the time that they finally cash in their huge pile of draft picks and make a splashy trade?

Possibly, but if not, Wallace makes sense as a no-ego player who will come in and defend right away. He can be effective without the ball in his hands, plays tough defense and would be an instant boost to their bench depth.
