Cason Wallace is now an NBA player!
Following his one and only season with the Kentucky Wildcats, Wallace was selected 10th overall in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Wallace was initially selected by the Dallas Mavericks, but he was then traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he will team up with former Wildcats Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Olivier Sarr.
OKC sends No. 12 and a TPE to Dallas as part of this trade, sources said. Dallas gets off the Bertans contract. https://t.co/9aSckqP3fj

This was a bit higher than the NBA Mock Draft projections had Wallace going, which was typically right outside the lottery, so this is a huge win for him.
