Announcements will be shared in the coming days, but it’s all but assumed that freshman Cason Wallace will enter and stay in the NBA Draft. The freshman guard from Dallas, Texas is a projected lottery pick in most major mock drafts, making the decision to go pro a no-brainer. Today, The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie has Wallace No. 10 in his latest mock draft, going to the Toronto Raptors.
Vecenie compares Wallace to another former Cat from Texas, Tyrese Maxey, and says Kentucky’s spacing (and, I’ll add, Wallace’s injuries) prevented us from seeing his full potential in Lexington.
