Los Angeles Clippers Mid-Season Grades: Tyrone Wallace
By Thomas Fenn
Overall: B-
Tyrone Wallace is a legitimate NBA player capable of playing and guarding multiple positions. Wallace has proved through the opportunities given to him that he deserves a roster spot on the Clippers. With his two way contract nearing expiry a decision needs to be made on Wallace’s future with the franchise.
If dropping 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in his NBA debut against the Golden State Warriors is a precursor to his NBA career, we can safely say Wallace is set for a guaranteed roster spot.
With Danilo Gallinari and Austin Rivers finally healthy, we may see Wallace’s starter like minutes drop . However, Wallace’s multi faceted skill set allows Coach River’s many options with the second unit and Wallace can also be slotted into starting unit lineups.

Wallace, along with C.J Williams, remains a fan favorite who have clawed his way from the Agua Caliente Clippers and have played big minutes for the Clippers and have made the claim for roster spots in the foreseeable future.
