With some of the best defensive instincts shown from any freshman guard in recent memory, Wallace is also shooting 60.7 percent inside the arc, using sound decision-making and shot-making touch to score with extreme efficiency.

He's currently in a brutal slump that's exposed questions about his shooting and finishing (44.6 percent at rim, zero made floaters). He proved enough with his shot-making last year.

Minnesota Timberwolves: Gabriele Procida (Bologna, SF, 2002), 49. 23. His shooting and decision-making remain inconsistent, but hell continue to look too tempting with enough flashes of self-creation and one-on-one shot-making, plus the highlight dunks, slashes and defensive playmaking.
