Scouting Report on Wallace

On3’s Senior National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton had this to say about Cason Wallace:

“Cason Wallace plays both ends of the floor better than anyone in the 2022 cycle. He always guards the opponent’s best player at the high school level, then turns around and runs a state-ranked team. His competitive fire is not matched by many. As his offensive game has expanded on the perimeter, he’s ascended to be a top 10 player in the country. His work and improved confidence from the three-point line is clearly evident. He’s got a wiry strong frame that can absorb contact, and stay under control to finish. Doesn’t make the wow play with the ball, but makes the correct play a very high percentage of the time. Makes free throws. Wants the ball when it matters most. Will guard multiple positions at the next level. Plays as well without the ball, as with the ball. Both quick enough and fast enough. Uses all his athletic gifts to make winning plays. High IQ player. Will understand how to fit in well at the next level, and beyond. Makes a team better every day when the cameras aren’t rolling. Understands the process for maximizing his talent.”
