Name: Keaton Wallace
Height/Weight: 6’5 / 195
Wingspan/ standing reach: N/A
Hand size: N/A
Position: Wing
College: UTSA
Tools: Defense, vision, shooting
Pros:

- Good shooting form
- Sees the floor well; plus vision
- Reliable floater
Cons:
- Shooting consistency
- Mild frame

Overall:
Keaton Wallace is a 3&D prospect who spent his collegiate career below the radar at UTSA. With an excellent defensive profile and a quick, smooth shooting form, the role for Wallace at any level is clear as a role player. As one of the best catch & shoot wings in the draft, particularly against closeouts; on 29 catch & shoot attempts against closeouts, Wallace shot 41%. It also helps that he can pass quickly out of contested catches with accuracy, as well as knowing how and when to make the extra pass from the perimeter. As a defender, Wallace’s high motor and strong instincts guide him to having a high defensive floor against pros. In the recent affinity for 3&D wings in the league, Keaton Wallace could be an underrated target for a team looking for the most sought-after mold in the NBA.
Similar to: Nate Hinton, Miye Oni, Dorrell Wright, Vincent Edwards
Projected draft range: Undrafted
Expected role: Defensive specialist/high motor energy player
Unplayable if: Shot doesn’t translate and his mild frame limits his defensive ability
Exceeds expectations if: Jumper comes along and efficiency sees an uptick. He can live up to the coveted 3&D label this way, and can see the floor well if/when teams pressure him
