High school career
Wallace attended Bakersfield High School, where he became his school's all-time scoring leader with 1,767 career points. He was also a two-time Bakersfield Californian Player of the Year, and in his senior season in 2012, he was a Second Team All-CIF selection. He was rated the 13th best point guard in the nation by Rivals.com and given a 4-star rating.
College career
Wallace chose to attend the University of California, Berkeley over several other schools, including Pac-12 rivals Oregon and Arizona State. Coach Mike Montgomery made him a starter just 10 games into his freshman year, and Wallace responded, averaging 7.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game the rest of the season. The Bears would make the NCAA Tournament that year, upsetting a higher-ranked UNLV team before falling in the second round to Syracuse.
Wallace continued to make strides in his sophomore year, as he started every game but one and led the team in steals (44) and 3 pointers (43). By his junior season, Wallace had become a star, as he averaged 17.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. He was named first-team All-Pac-12, and was a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award, given to the nation's top point guard. One of his many highlights included hitting a 3 pointer at the buzzer to give Cal a 70-69 victory over USC.
On April 23, 2015, Wallace announced that he would forgo the NBA draft and return to UC Berkeley for his senior season.

On October 31, 2016, he was acquired by the Salt Lake City Stars, the Jazz's NBA Development League affiliate. He was waived on November 10 after suffering an injury.
