You Can't Make Up What The Oklahoma City Thunder Keep Doing.. | OKC NBA News (Cason Wallace, Draft)

The Oklahoma City Thunder surprised so many of us as they exceeded almost all of their expectations throughout the entire 2023 NBA season. And after falling just short of the playoffs & heading into the 2023 NBA offseason, many were seemingly surprised how they approached the 2023 NBA Draft with yet another lottery pick. And after drafting Kentucky guard Cason Wallace 10th overall, it might not have seemed like a crazy move at the time, but the OKC Thunder might be hiding something from us.
Now after the breakout and impressive seasons from SGA, Jalen Williams, Josh Giddey, along with the likes of Lu Dort, Aaron Wiggins, Tre Mann, etc, the Thunder adding yet another backcourt player in Cason Wallace might seem crazy. But with OKC, Sam Presti & HC Mark Diagneault’s unorthodox style of basketball makes perfect sense for the selection of Cason Wallace. And through the film & highlights of his play at Kentucky, he is yet another piece to solidify their rotation in 2024.
And along with Cason Wallace’s defense at such a high level, adding him to the mix with Chet Holmgren and his return from injury, the Oklahoma City Thunder are going to be a two-way machine this season led once again by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. But we’ll just have to wait and see if they’re able to exceed expectations once again.

[@sadmarinersfan8935]

Let’s all remember how controversial Josh Giddey was, and how he’s turning into an all star caliber player now and how good the Williams are going to be both of them I trust Sam Presti to do whatever he thinks is right

[@robertoreilly6660]

Sam Presti has a track record of brilliance. Unfortunately, Clay Bennett has been unwilling to compete financially with the likes of Golden State, the Clippers, Lakers and even Milwaukee. That is how he drafted and then lost 3 MVPs. Maybe the new CBA will make that more achievable. Reason to hope in OKC.

[@OsceolaNola7]

I don’t remember anyone having a problem with the Giddey pick, was that a local OKC thing?

[@TraitsofGreatness]

I think what we get with Giddey now is what we’ll continue to see till he starts declining. I don’t see bro being an all star. Not hating, bro can hoop, but he don’t got that dog in him. He just there to get paid

[@michealholden2888]

​@@OsceolaNola7no it wasn't it was criticized by ESPN

[@gentleben1590]

OKC isn’t as dependent on rotations like most teams. They draft a certain kind of player to fit their positionless style. This makes them dangerous when they have 15 players who can thrive within the system. They’re about to be dangerous for a very long time. Dort needs a shoutout, too. He’s necessary for a playoff run.

[@FletcherWartig]

As an OKC fan I doubted the picks for years. I was a fan of giddey but even then I was still thinking we missed a few players. Ive learned that whatever presti will do I trust it. He’s a mastermind

[@mattnoonan6519]

Wallace is perfect for what the Thunder want. The way their rotations are, SGA plays the whole first and third quarter while Josh sits the last 5-6 minutes of those quarters then starts the second and fourth…. Josh puts the effort in on D but if he’s always got Dort or Wallace to defend the other teams best guard, it will take some pressure off if they. At the same time, Josh got minutes at center last season. Their best line ups were when Kenrich Williams played center, and he’s like 6’6” tall. I love this team and can’t wait for summer league when we can see Chet again!

[@brads4231]

A Cason, Sga Giddey, JDub, and Chet lineup would be fun to watch.

[@shortstuffstumpleson]

That is a darned good point. They're bringing in two top 10 draft picks this year on top of an already good team.

[@JCreole]

Did everyone forget about Chet Holgrem already?

[@Keviekev115]

[@Lefty1x]

He was hurt… he couldn’t show you, but he will

[@Officialandcal.]

[@lilmikey711]

Perfect pick up! I love the Thunder’s non-heliocentric and postionless basketball style of play. A lot of guys that can handle the ball and play off ball. Every player has high feel for the game and can play on both ends of the floor. I don’t really get the whole “we have too many gaurds” argument. Everyone can play multiple positions, especially with there size/length and varying skill sets. Did we forget that SGA is 6’6” with a 7-foot wingspan. He can play 1-3. JDub is 6’6” with a 7’2” wingspan. He can play 1-4. Josh Giddey is 6’8. He can play 1-4 and at times play the 5 if we want to play small. Lu Dort also plays bigger than he his despite being an undersized wing player. People got to realize that positionless basketball is not only about having size. It’s about the multitude of skill sets each player can bring on both ends of the floor. Everyone on this team can play on and off ball. We got a lot of hoopers on this team with that “dawg” mentality. It’s going to be an exciting season.

[@joshuachipman4163]

having a rotation you can throw on the floor that's rather big in instances is huge.

[@Niiigg89]

As a OKC fan since KD first year as a Super Sonic this was a great pick. Carson will man the second unit when SGA sits.. trust me Deing will be our SF! He has a great body(Pause) but can shoot and I seen him handle the ball

[@Darealmenxce]

[@gavingordon8163]

Just saw his summer league debut live…. This was an amazing pick. They know what they’re doing no doubt

[@romeobodeodo]

I heard about Wallace when he was drafted, so I've been watching his play over summer league and he seems to be as advertised. I think he has a bright future with the team, and has a great chance of sticking in the league.

[@kristoffereberius2476]

And a massive shout out for bringing in Patty Mills. What a positive rolemodel, role player and mentor for this young team also able to lead the bench and hit a clutch shot. They have so many high quality players that can all contribute and are rotated with freedom to play their game. Finals last year and a stronger team this year. Finishing somewhere around 6th in the west. Everyone stay healthy and injury free Go OKC

[@thickchip2694]

And he's gone 😂

[@wolfbane610]

Wallace will improve the defense by at least -3 points. Chet and Wallace by -5 to 10 points. OKC will sign Johnson to a full contract during the season. He's too talented.

[@eddy9018ify]

Cason is definitely a good player that will fit into Thunder's style of basketball. The thing is that who is he gonna replace when there are so many gaurds in the team. There are SGA, Giddey, Dort, and J-dub who played so well last season and they also have Joe, Wiggins, and even Waters who brought up energies and contributions in the bottom half of last season. Of course you can always let J-dub, Dort and Wiggins play SF or even PF, but that's gonna be hard when it comes to facing teams like the timberwolves or the Bucks as they can beat you easily based on their sizes

[@gentleben1590]

The reason I think it’s confusing is that we think of there only being 5 positions. OKC is positionless, so don’t think of it like that. Like Presti said “Save your predictions. Burn your assumptions.”

[@brandontammany6956]

They may be bigger but if we have a floor full of guard (speed) we will wear them down

[@juanjonez]

Cason is cold 😮‍💨

[@slicks1175]

Cason will be one of the best in this class. Elite defender from day 1 & he’s just touching the surface of his offensive potential. OKC got a dog!

[@neoknight14215]

For every thunder fan that's disappointed or critical of the picks I urge you all to watch a lot og summer league basketball and watch the 2-3 year player development closely.

[@Brasilian_Baller-1]

Johnson is gonna be a beast. He is physically ready for the NBA. I think his game will go well with the passing skills of Shai and Giddy.

[@voxextremos22]

As a K-State fan from Manhattan KS, I love that I might get to see keyontae Johnson playing in the NBA

[@edwincrawford5619]

carson and shai play with similar pace and share some of the same moves. I'm interested to see how he fits in and what the line up looks up

[@CaptainProx]

I think Wallace is basically gonna become the Lu Dort replacement As great as Lu Dort is defensively, he has some glaring flaws that Wallace simply doesn’t have. OKC is gonna have the most versatile lineup in the NBA!

[@Darealmenxce]

Tbh I think he’s gonna be Tre manns replacement as backup PG

[@mrlabnilla]

I don’t think he replaces dort, dort is a needed starter, granted has flaws but he has experience and defended the best but for sure Wallace takes 6th man and leads the 2nd unit

[@drayko4157]

im sorry but cason wallace is not even in the same realm as a point of attack defender that dort is. cason is 193 and lu is 220 or somwhere around there. dude would get picked apart by luka who lu has to guard and he does it at a high level. same goes for jalen williams, he’s a good defender but would also get cooked by luka as well. not even just luka, even other players such as dame, durant, kawhi, ingram, etc. lu may be inconsistent on offense but his defense will be hard to replace

[@timmytheinventor4746]

OKC is the opposite of versatile lol.

[@mrlabnilla]

I like Cason starting with Shai, Giddey, Jalen and Chet. Bring the less dynamic, but still elite roleplayers (Isaiah Joe and Dort) off the bench. JMHO...

[@devonclarke3857]

The fact that people still doubt Presti's draft picks amazes me. Yes we have a lot of guard but we have a lot of bigs that play and handle like guards, and we have some big from Overseas that said he wants to play in the NBA this year and his preferred choice is OKC. So I think size wise we will be fine with Dueng, Poku, and Chet.

[@thickchip2694]

4 ball handlers and Chet is honestly ridiculous to think about. Especially when the ball handlers are savy like SGA, crafty like Giddey, dominate/physical like Jalen, n got a legit lockdown/potentially best in the league defender in Cason Wallace to play next to a another shutdown like Lou Dort. Fuck man, what has the league let happen. These dudes got 35 picks in the next 5..

[@coaching_wrkseverydaypodca2923]

Don’t forget about the 2022 NBA #11 overall draft pick, Ousmane Dieng, is special at 6’10” with a PG13 bag on both ends of the floor. 😮

[@ThunderTalk]

Thunder Up, chet is worth 5 games We win around 45 games. Cason Wallace is gonna be a great bench unit guy to help defensively when dorts out and keep a steady ship on offense. While in with starters, he can spot up shoot.

[@mastertj99999]

This was the year the Thunder were supposed to round the curve. Bringing in Holngren, adding another lottery pick, and enough capspace to add an allstar, they easily could be top 3 seed, but instead they let their contract clock continue to tick by taking on a bunch of garbage cap space and taking a developmental player. This doesn't mean they can't be a top 6 seed by any means, but they could have been top 3, and next year the Thunder are down another year until they have to pay Giddey.

As a Warriors fan seeing the continual, year upon year sh*t show - our horrible draft record, (after Jeerry West left the organization), I am so jealous of the OKC management. If you scroll thru the comments on Warriors draft and compare those comments on an OKC draft, you'll see great praise of Sam Pres, not the same with comments about Warriors organization. Count your blessings OKC. When Curry leaves we are going to be crap.

[@nova1117]

I think they need to move for OG or Siakam and finish up that versatility while adding veteran presence to a front court position, especially when you consider their cap situation is great now, but what happens when you need to start paying all these rising stars?

[@DrRobGilles]

@@MeechG bro every time I think about the thunder it reminds me of the hawks too!! Just not on the same extreme. A few years back the hawks were the thunder today. Had the hot shot all nba talent and all these prospects that everyone thought we’re gonna be all nba studs. Trae had Collins Hunter okonwu Capela cam reddish huerter Jalen Johnson Cooper. You thought that there was no way that anything could go wrong after stockpiling draft picks and players. They never made the move to get over the hump and they fizzled out once it was time to start paying their players real money. And as you probably agree with... part of the reason why the hawks flopped was because they had too many young players and not enough mins to go around to properly develop players and assign roles to. In other words they didn’t consolidate their assets. Thunder gonna do the same thing if they don’t Learn from the hawks. Because soon their team is gonna get very expensive and you can’t just keep drafting your way out of it because in the end everyone can’t get mins. Nba contenders win with 8-9 man rotations and 2-4 great players. Not 1-2 good to great players and 10 other kids under 25.
