A couple more things.

Wallace turned 25 a few weeks ago.

He is another younger player that came from a playoff team. He didn't play a ton but the Clippers were absolutely loaded with guard depth. Milos hardly played. Robinson their other first round pick didn't play much. Clippers claimed McGruder and resigned him.

I'm not sure about the timing of waiver players but it's possible the Wolves put in a claim on him before they knew of the Tyus signed offer sheet.

So we signed another shooting guard. And a poor 3-point shooter to boot. Oh, and he's 25, not 22 or 23.

I honestly don't get it unless it's part of a tank strAtegy.

T. Wallace hasn't shown a lick of shooting ability so far but I still don't hate this he's athletic and rather young while playing on a team that had him buried. He has handles can drive to score or create offense and at 6'5" its more about his versatility on defense that brought him in. If he improves his shooting he could be a nice player do I expect that, well not really but he shouldn't play a ton of mins and is worth a cheap gamble. Better than spending on Tyus IMO.

Good ball handler, good defender, good size, and can play some pg and sg. However, he cant shoot.

I'll miss Tyus. But economics rule the day.

I think some of the reason they went Wallace is Rosas keeps they want to switch a ton on D. So a big guard like Wallace makes sense in theory

Makes sense. They are doing a ton of switching in Summer League, that's for sure.

Related to this topic.....look at what a switching defense has done to Ryan Anderson. Once teams figured out that you can guard him with a wing and then switch on Harden pick and pops if necessary, he was rendered nearly irrelevant and his minutes with Houston plummeted mid-way into the 17-18 season. Remember how that guy would torture us? That's because we'd put a big on him and then that big would hedge hard on Harden to allow his defender to recover, but then our big could never get back to Ryan Anderson for the open 3. I always found it ridiculous how long it took us to figure this out....
