Professional career

After four years at college, the 1.87 m tall guard signed a contract with the Slovenian first division club KK Olimpija Ljubljana in 2008 .

In August 2010 Wallace signed a one-year contract with the ambitious German second division club FC Bayern Munich in the ProA , which was extended for another year through promotion to the BBL . Originally he was planned more as a shooting guard in Munich , but after the long-term injury of Steffen Hamann in the first game of the 2010/11 season, he played more as point guard , his traditional position. After he only came off the bench during the 2011/2012 season in the Bundesliga basketball league and his playing time was shortened, Wallace left the club at the end of the season and moved to the Belgian league at Belfius Mons-Hainaut in Hainaut . Wallace reached the final with his team, but there they were inferior to Telenet Oostende . After a year in Belgium, Wallace returned to Germany and joined first division team WALTER Tigers Tübingen . In the 2015/2016 season Wallace played for the Angolan first division club Recreativo do Libolo .

In August 2016, Georgetown University announced that Wallace would serve as special assistant to John Thompson III on the university's collage team.
