Rookie guard Cason Wallace appreciates Mark Daigneault and the Oklahoma City Thunder coaching staff for allowing him to have freedom on the defensive end.

(via Oklahoma City Thunder):

Reporter: “Seven games in, you’re jumping lanes already. What kind of sense do you get from the coaching staff in terms of trust on that end?”

Wallace: “They’re just letting me be free on the defensive side, just letting me be me. Playing the passing lanes, guarding people 94 feet, that’s something that I take pride in. So, they’ve given me the freedom to do that.”
