In Episode 1410, Sean Woodley digs into guard prospect Cason Wallace out of Kentucky and whether he'd be a sensible fit with the Toronto Raptors should they select him with the 13th-overall pick in the NBA Draft. Off the top, Sean digs into why Wallace profiles as a potential long-term replacement for Fred VanVleet -- though not a day one replacement for what VanVleet brings to the team. Next, Sean runs through the strengths of Wallace's game, including some very tantalizing defensive tools, some promising mid-range pull-up numbers, and his ability to contribute without having the ball in his hands with cutting and catch-and-shoots. For all the good, though, Wallace does struggle creating space for himself and with pull-up threes -- are those drawbacks concerning, or do they stand a chance of being rectified in the NBA as Wallace looks to follow in the long line of Kentucky guards to really take off once leaving the Wildcats' program. Lastly, Sean examines the widely thrown out comparison to Jrue Holiday and whether there's any merit to it, and whether it's likely for the Raptors to be there at 13.
