Cason Wallace receives SEC honors
When the Southeastern Conference released its men’s basketball players of the week, Kentucky freshman Cason Wallace found his name on the list.
The prospect out of Dallas, Texas was a force in the team’s latest win over Florida A&M. He totaled 27 points, 9 assists, 4 steals, and 2 rebounds on the victory in which he was the most key player on the court between the two teams.
He converted on 10-of-15 field goals (.667) and 5-of-6 3-points attempts in the contest against the Rattlers. Those 27 points are a career-best for Wallace and the 9 assists he tallied tie his career high.
With this, he also becomes the program’s first player of the Calipari era to score at least 27 points, have 9 assists and add 4 steals in a single game.
Wallace obviously still has plenty of time remaining in his college career and will be a name to watch in a future NBA draft.
