When you think about the Oklahoma City Thunder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander comes to mind.<\/p>\n
SGA has been the face of the Thunder, winning the league MVP and Finals MVP last season. When he\u2019s been healthy, he\u2019s been dominant again this season.<\/p>\n
But with SGA missing time due to an injury, another former Kentucky Wildcat has stepped up the last few games. Cason Wallace has been a key piece for the Thunder, averaging around 23 points per game the last three games to go along with about 5 rebounds and just over 7 assists.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Wallace led OKC to a victory in Toronto with 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists on 11-16 shooting. Last night, the Thunder fell to the Detroit Pistons, but Wallace scored 23 points to go along with 5 assists and knocked down 3-6 from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unknown right now when SGA will return. He\u2019s expected to be evaluated in the coming days, but if you\u2019re the Thunder, you have to like how Cason Wallace has emerged in his absence and what he can provide moving forward during the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n
I think this season pretty much confirmed we need someone in this type of role.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been an ongoing conversation for a while\u2026<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an interesting stat.<\/p>\n
The Cats came out hot in the first inning.<\/p>\n
A historically bad day for Pitino\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n
Wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we started seeing more of this.<\/p>\n
These teams could cause some issues in March.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
