Despite a successful four year collegiate career, Wallace was not selected in the 2007 NBA draft. Nevertheless, he was invited to play for the Boston Celtics Las Vegas Summer League team. After just one Summer League game, the Boston Celtics signed the former high school standout to a 2-year partially guaranteed contract.[2] Wallace played small forward for the Celtics, and earned a roster spot on the 2007–08 Celtics roster after competing with Dahntay Jones and Jackie Manuel who were both waived.[3] On December 18, 2007, however, he was waived by the Celtics before appearing in a game.[4] He was selected in the second round of the NBA D League draft by the Bakersfield Jam.
On August 4, 2008, it was reported that Wallace had signed with a Turkish team.
After being released, Brandon continued the season in Poland (Kwidzyn) averaging 7.8 ppg and 5.6 rpg. Brandon was also selected to the All-Star team.
On October 23, 2009, Brandon Wallace signed with Israeli state cup holder (and 2008 champion) Hapoel Holon.
Wallace has two sons, one born in November 2007 and the other born July 2011
