Expected Role

Tyrone Wallace will enter this new season on the 3rd Unit of the roster that most likely includes, Milos Teodosic, Jerome Robinson, Sindarius Thornwell and Boban Marjanovic.

His main role will be a role player who will get his chances when the Clippers need a spark at the guard position.

If the Starters and Second Unit have a night where they are struggling, Coach Rivers will give Wallace the chance to energize the team with his knack and ability of driving into the paint.

His versatility is crucial, as he will be able to be inserted and defend guards and forwards.

Should his 3-Point game be improved, Wallace might see an increase in minutes.

Hopefully the team does not deal with the injury craze that plagued the team last season, but if the Clippers are short one or two guards, expect Wallace to take the bulk of those minutes and contribute quickly.
