“He doesn’t need to dribble a lot to score or make a pass. He takes one or two dribbles, shoots, makes a layup or finds an open teammate and does it with ease. For me, it’s the best kind of basketball you can play. No disrespect to the other players in the league currently, but he is in my top 5, I would put him in my top 5.”, added Wallace.
