When new Kentucky Basketball freshman Cason Wallace signed with Kentucky last fall, John Calipari compared his new Wildcat to two former Wildcats of the same mold.
“Cason is a winner and a competitor who reminds me of Eric Bledsoe and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander,” Calipari said back in November. “I don’t like to make a lot of comparisons like that, but he has a quiet demeanor with a game that speaks loudly. He can shoot it and create for his teammates, but what really separates him is his defense. He is already an elite on-ball defender who takes a lot of pride in that part of the game.
