It’s not a dig on Wallace it’s a fit. We have 7 guards that see significant playing time. SGA, dub, Dort, Giddey, Joe, Wiggins, and Wallace. But only 2 forwards/centers.

You are creating a false narrative in your head by cherry picking a minority argument.
Comments are split but many agree that if the Thunder can get Wallace, that is the pick. Or they trade down and get Lively in the 18-24 range where the sub valued him at.
There’s this post asking who to draft between Wallace, Dick, Lively:
Turns out, this sub is collectively pretty damn smart. And anyone pushing the Lively > Wallace argument is someone to be ignored.

There was never a Cason or Lively choice. The only choice was Cason and no Lively or no Cason and no Lively. Dallas doesn’t do the trade if they didn’t know Lively would be there at 12. The only way to get Lively would be to trade up to 9.

Cason Wallace is so underrated
Nobody here is saying that

It has negative score and the comments overwhelmingly support the Cason pick.
This post asks before the draft if Lively would be a good fit:

Take out the Dick jokes and Wallace is the favorite by far. Lively is a distant third option.
Then the cherry on top; this post used a poll to see who the fans would rather draft between Wallace and Lively:
