Tyrone Wallace had fairly low expectations when the Clippers signed him in January of 2018. His size, length, and mere warm body was needed for an injury-riddled Clippers squad, which at that point was starting second-round pick Jawun Evans. All that was expected was a handful of passable minutes a game until Milos Teodosic got healthy, though certainly people who watched the Agua Caliente Clippers knew Wallace had real talent. It seemed likely that he would get playing time, but the number of minutes and duration of time given to him in the NBA on his two-way deal were in question.
