Wallsten is a productive post player who consistently finds ways to make an impact on both ends of the floor. He does a nice job scoring around the basket, using his size and feel to finish efficiently in close. Defensively, his timing stood out when protecting the rim, as he altered shots and made opponents work for every attempt in the paint. Wallsten was also active on the glass, creating second-chance opportunities with his rebounding ability and helping his team control possessions. One of the more underrated aspects of his game is his passing, as he showed good vision and awareness by finding teammates in scoring positions and keeping the ball moving. His combination of interior scoring, rebounding, rim protection, and unselfish play makes him a valuable frontcourt presence who contributes in a variety of ways.

With the size and improving lateral mobility, he’s working towards being a switchable threat on the defensive end that can guard 3-5.
