On the night of the 2023 NBA Draft, Cason Wallace went through quite the experience. He was technically drafted by his hometown team in the Dallas Mavericks — and wore the hat of the franchise that plays less than 15 miles from the neighborhood he grew up in as he walked across the stage — but would actually be taking his talents roughly 200 miles north to Oklahoma City.
Wallace was part of a draft night trade in which the Thunder traded up two spots, swapping the No. 10 pick for the No. 12 pick with the Mavericks, to land the Kentucky prospect. He played his high school ball at Richardson and actually wore a special suit on draft night with the letters “HPT” written all over it. This acronym stands for Hamilton Park, Texas which is a historic, originally all-Black neighborhood in the northern part of the city, south of Interstate 635 near Lake Highlands.
