Which is part of the reason why he comes off the bench for Sacramento.
He’s *checks notes* a full two inches shorter than Wallace and has a smaller wingspan by two inches. How is he playing such good defense?
There might be a third Thompson in this draft in Bilal Coulibaly.

Umm. Sir, he would have to be dog **** at shooting a basketball to be one of the Thompsons.
I'm not kidding. Why not draft this guy at #16 and let him take some reps at the 1.
Based on my very limited game watching so far, I really like Wallace. I am a little concerned about his size. He's not undersized, but neither do I think he's the "big point guard" that some were promising earlier in the season.
But more than that, I'm concerned about his back. That's one of the last places you want to be worried about coming out of the draft. I get that MPJ has kind of survived despite perhaps worse back problems, but can anyone talk me out of my concerns?

I have the same concerns about Wallace’s back. His defense is a huge draw but back problems stay with you your whole life.
Yeah maybe ‘undersized’ is a little too strong a word as it seems to have triggered many here.. maybe let’s just use the term @NUMBERICA coined which was ‘sub-optimal’.
I happy to use that going forward..
Kinda the same way people are unhappy with the term ‘tanking’ but most have now accepted that what we did this year was actually ‘tank-lite’.
I would do it. I think we would lose games the first year while he gets adjusted. His strength is lacking but that is about it.
More draft propaganda. This time defense. Oh boy he looks like a real good two way player.

I think he ends up being more of a Mike Miller type who would thrive in this era.

Do we have a French Giannis situation going on here? Not exactly like 7 foot Giannis but the athletic dude who keeps growing… I think based on pics I saw that he looks like a dude that could hit a grow spurt. I know it’s dumb but huge feet and his arms/body seem super skinny. Looks like he could pack on some muscle. IDK… just wonder if GMs tamp down the hype or if the machine goes full tilt.
