Player Preview: Brandon Wallace

Born: Statesboro, Georgia
High School: Silver Bluff HS, South Carolina
College: South Carolina
Height: 6'9"
Nickname: they call him "The Wall." Nothing gets past the wall!

Life story: Wallace was born in Georgia but moved at some point to South Carolina. Details are murky. However, he led his Silver Bluff HS team to its first state title his senior year, hitting a buzzer-beater to win the title game. His senior year he averaged 21.9 points, 15.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 4.3 blocks per game. I know, it's outrageous. He was a McDonald's All-American and for reasons I will never understand, decided to go to South Carolina. He didn't do much outstanding, not even averaging 10 points per game, but he made a good showing in Las Vegas, when people realized that he had been playing out of position for 4 years. Pretty good coaching at South Carolina....

Criminal history: This appears to be completely clean! Way to go, Brandon!

Prediction: Until James Posey was signed, everyone was talking about how Brandon Wallace was going to be the first rookie off the bench. Now, Ainge is talking about him going to the D-League, which is never a good sign. However, the Celtics would be CRAZY to get rid of him because he is a high-energy, rebounding, shot blocking psychopath on the floor. He is Declerq with more than a 4-inch vertical, minus the third-grader haircut. We predict that Brandon Wallace will have few opporunities on the floor, but he will bring the PAIN when he gets out there.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/10/player-preview-brandon-wallace.html
