Scouting Info:
ESPN.com, "Wallace has great size for the 1 with great length and solid athleticism. What stands out the most in his game is his ability to make others better. The left-handed point guard prospect has a great feel for the game and is an astute passer, especially in the half court set. Although Wallace is left-handed, he does much of his ball handling and passing with his right hand-a truly unique prospect. He can play the 1 or the 2 based on his skill set as well as his savvy. He has the ability to score in the paint utilizing his arsenal of runners and floaters as well. Defensively, he uses his lengthy wing span to get numerous steals and he's a deceptive shot blocker in transition. Wallace is an interesting prospect with no true position at this stage-he is just a guard with multiple gifts. His length, savvy, and versatility, should warrant a high-major scholarship. He isn't one of the elite prospects in the country, but by his junior season he should be a tremendous college player at both ends of the floor."


Tyrone has great length for a point and may remind some of Jrue Holiday who played for UCLA a couple years back. He hails from the Bay Area and may be partial to staying in the region either for Cal, Stanford or even San Francisco. He is another recruit high on Donny Daniels list and has the skillset to play the 1,2 or even 3 at the college level. Not much footage is available of him at this time.
