In an era devoted to offensive play, OKC Thunder guard Cason Wallace is shining blindingly bright thanks to his efforts on the less glamorous side of the ball.
Though down to career lows in key statistical areas like effective field goal percentage (52.2) and offensive rating per 100 possessions (111), it's objectively true that the third-year baller is putting forth perhaps his best season as a pro to date.
Through 15 games played (all of which found him serving as a starter), Wallace has seen double-digit scoring feats in just seven contests, but has made up the difference by being one of the game's scrappiest and most electrifying defensive pests, and could be well on his way to an All-Defensive nod come year's end as a result.
