After the draft, I was arguing with some Warriors Fans that Toppin is a better pick then Wiseman, but Fans were like “No Wise is much better”. After these years,I think it is proven that Toppin is just much better as a ball player. And these Warriors fans are like “well…any player is better than Wiseman”. Damn. It is like “Head I win, Tail you lose.” with these ppl.

That’s you’re pre-draft flex? That you called out one bust by predicting another guy who busted a little less would be better?

How much scouting were you able to really do on wiseman? He didn’t have a lot of footage. I’m assuming you saw some highlights and just decided you didn’t like his game, which is fine, however he wasn’t drafted based on what he could do, but rather what he was projected to be able to do in the future.

Toppin is 25 and wiseman is 22, so that’s still a thing as well.

The smartest 2020 draft outlook was pretty much “this is really difficult because a worldwide pandemic shut down the most important part of the year. I have no clue how these guys will pan out. Especially wiseman and lamelo since we hardly have real footage on them”
