NBA - Main

I wonder if Klay's dad is still saying that the Warriors will rue the day they traded Wiseman.

Yes he is bad.

he will never beat the fraud allegations i fear

You know it’s going really really bad for him when Marvin bagley is taking his minutes

He was good on paper, too bad, it should have stayed there and thrown in the bin.. he would have been a good fit for the warriors if he was even a quarter of his potential. An athletic young big who can protect the rim and stretch the floor both offensively and defensively. Such a waste.

It’s preseason, he just had 20 a few games ago

He’s still super raw. He’s def a gamble type of player who will need time to put it together. His issue is will be if he can get it together upstairs cause he’s got all the tools to be a very good player.

He’s in his own head bro you can tell he has anxiety or sum shit like that

Has a “raw,” “athletic,” but unskilled C drafted in the lottery EVER lived up to their draft position?

Bum

This guy stinks

I feel bad for the guy. You look at him and wonder how he can't be good. He's a legit 7 Footer who is long as hell with freakish athleticism and has a J.

Yet he absolutely has no feel for the game whatsoever.

Did the GM draft him based on his potential? Not looking good. His injury also disupted his timeline.

There is a lot of luck in drafting players. Minnesota could have drafted Steph Curry, they selected Jonny Flynn and Ricky Rubio just before him. We praise the Warriors for selecting Klay and Draymond and they were excellent choices and had hall of fame careers but Dry was a second round pick.

The Warriors totally over thought their selection with Wiseman. Everyone knows big-men in the NBA take many years to develop. Plus Wiseman had played so little basketball in the previous year between dropping out of college and Covid.

I’ll always believe the Warriors didn’t want anything to do with LaVar Ball and that’s why they passed on LaMelo who draft analysts said was the clear best player in the draft that year. The best player gets picked third, strange indeed.

It’s preseason…..

It's too early to call Wiseman a bust and he's too young to be labeled one but he is officially on the clock, he is probably not going to have his 5th year option picked up and he is behind Bagley now in the backup C depth chart in Detroit. I would have him play more in the G-League but he now cannot be sent to the G-League without his permission.

Wiseman's game is too mechanical at the moment and that's what happens when you don't play enough during your developmental years.

!remindme 5 years

It’s preseason.

If you watched last year the dubs tried to play him he would just near instantly tank the game. It got to the point where the starters were the best five man unit in the league and the team was well under .500

I hate to say it but the kid has huge iq problems in every important part of defense AND offense that he doesnt seem to grasp. He has the positioning skills of a toddler. Soft hands, cant finish anything that isnt two handed. Even softer screens, Ive never seen someone so big and broad be so afraid to put oomph into a screen. The only time he uses his frame is to setup on the low block, where he is one dimensional AND inefficient, which results in a clogged lane. He doesnt have a particular knack for boards on either end. Mediocre jumpshooter at best. My god the fouling was atrocious, for christ sake youre 7'2 w long arms just put them up in the air hibbert had a whole career off that. I really could go on for 10 minutes about this. I was really excited for his potential and have given him the benefit of the doubt long enough. I hear ppl say its because he was on the dubs but the inverse is true, the center has a very easy role in kerrs offense, not everyone needs to be looney. Its sad but the man is a legit bust.

He will get another contract because he will hit a turnaround fade, a 3, and dunk on someone like hes giannis every 5 games, but my god i have never seen someone so unable to grasp the game in my life

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is his last year (or whenever his contract expires) in the League.

He's no Neemias Queta, that's for sure
