How was Wiseman the number 2 pick lmao. Rookie Lively destroyed him today. Lively looks way better as a rookie than wiseman did and is taller than him too. (alien.top)

the same reason why Jokic went to the second round, scouts can't predict the future

Tbf, in this case it's not even about the future, Jokić was just better as overall NBA player in his first game than Wiseman will ever be. People thought he'd go spend some time in Europe first, but he started playing 20 minutes a game immediately and Denver had an amazing score in the minutes he was on court even in his rookie season.

So it's not even future really, just playing in NBA - if Jokić was to never become better than in his rookie season, he'd still be drafted way way higher if people knew.
