About this listen

 Cason Wallace is on a meteoric rise. The 22 year-old Oklahoma City (OKC) Thunder guard, drafted 10th overall in the lottery of the 2023 NBA Draft, has eclipsed 20 points in each of his last three contests. He also exhibited legitimate playmaking, which now pairs with his already elite point-of-attack and off-ball defense. The point: Cason Wallace is ready and NEEDS more court time to develop. But on the other side, OKC Thunder franchise legend Lu Dort stands. The longest tenured current Thunder, but Dort's down year and inconsistencies call for change. Gabriel Ebersole argues why Cason Wallace (or even Ajay Mitchell) deserves to be in the Oklahoma City Thunder's starting five...even when they're fully healthy, which appears to be never at this point. Starting games in the 2025 NBA Finals last year against Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers, Gabriel Ebersole uses arguments steals, net rating, LEBRON, and more to explain why Cason Wallace has done enough to leapfrog Lu Dort. --- Thunder Digest covers the latest reports, news and rumors regarding the Oklahoma City Thunder.
