The Oklahoma City Thunder will lean on rookie Cason Wallace in the second round of the NBA Playoffs against his hometown team. The emotions of this series will be a test for Wallace.
Some guys are naturally unphased. A certain calmness to them that nearly makes you envious as a million thoughts race through your head. Despite being a 20-year-old rookie Cason Wallace is that way.
So it was no surprise that as we all craft these high-stake storylines of a homecoming for Wallace in the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Kentucky product is unbothered by the hometown matchup. Against the Mavericks this season, Wallace is averaging 11 points, three rebounds and an assist while swiping three steals and swatting two shots in four games off the pine for the Bricktown boys.
However, his play on the court suggests he is telling the truth when he shoots down any narratives thrown his way. That is part of the uncommon maturity that Mark Daigneault continues to heap on Wallace and company.
