The 24-year old Wallace is a 6-foot-5 wing who is a solid defender. In 30 games last season, he played 28.6 minutes per outing and scored 9.7 points with 3.5 rebounds on average.
Los Angeles is already over the maximum number of players under contract so the chance of New Orleans retaining Wallace appear good. The Cal product would give the Pels another option at their thinnest position, small forward.
