Cason Wallace is poised to take center stage for the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2027, stepping into Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s backcourt with a new identity as the team’s premier perimeter defender. Already the NBA’s steals leader last season with 150 — fifth all-time in franchise history — Wallace could break the Thunder’s single-season record if he maintains his elite steal rate. With more high-leverage matchups and consistent minutes, his quick hands are primed for even greater impact, potentially netting him around 172 steals by season’s end.
