The wait was worth it for Cason Wallace’s summer league debut.
After missing all three Salt Lake City summer league games due to not being officially on the roster yet, the 19-year-old finally played his first game for the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 91-80 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
In 27 minutes, Wallace quickly showed he’ll be a scary outside shooter for the Thunder. He finished with 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting that included going 6-of-10 from 3. This included a 5-of-6 from 3 in the first half and a 45-footer in the second half.
Let’s look at the best tweets reacting to Wallace’s debut for the Thunder.
