Kentucky Briefing: Cason Wallace shines in his NBA debut /

In this story:

Cason Wallace made his NBA debut for the Oklahoma City Thunder and had a really good showing.

Wallace played 19 minutes in this ball game where he shot five field goals, making all of them, with three of the made field goals being from beyond the arc.

This gave Wallace 13 points in his NBA debut, and he also brought in two rebounds and dished out an assist.

The Thunder won their opener in the Windy City over the Chicago Bulls 124-104 to start the season 1-0.

Wallace didn't have the best start to the preseason, which had people, myself included, concerned, but he was great in his season opener.

Kentucky guards always have a good NBA career, and Wallace will be the next name on that long list.

Let's take a look at Wallace's highlights from this ball game.
