Keaton Wallace

Wallace is the kind of undrafted guard who sticks by doing the unglamorous things well. A four-year UTSA standout, he grinded through a Spurs two-way stint before landing in Atlanta, where the Hawks rewarded a strong camp by converting his two-way into a standard one-year contract in October 2025. He played 53 games this past season as a defensive-minded backup, and while the counting stats stay modest — a shade over four points in a dozen minutes — the value is in point-of-attack defense, ballhandling under pressure and a steadier-than-average three around 35 percent. He closed the year in the playoff rotation, which tells you coaches trust him with real minutes. He's a connector guard: keep the offense organized, guard up a position, and don't cost your team possessions.
