Now, if we look at the combine measurements and agility they look deceptively similar (Wallace goes first):
Height: 6'2.5" vs. 6'3.25"
Wingspan: 6'8.5" vs. 6'7"
Standing reach: 8'5" vs. 8'4.5"
Weight: 195 vs. 199 lbs.
Lane agility: 10.82 vs. 10.64 secs
Max Vert: 36" vs. 34"
Jrue Holiday comps are almost always bad IMO but man, not sure I've seen someone make more Jrue-type plays in college than Cason. Watching the way he works on defense is insanely impressive.
His offensive creation abilities are definitely a bit scary for a lottery PG, but with his defensive skills and decent enough offensive skills, it feels like there's a pretty high floor there and if god forbid he adds some savviness to his offensive game, he could be one of the best players in the draft.
