Warriors were wrong drafting him and they were right trading him and I think it is safe to say that he is a massive bust like boy he is not good at at the game of basketball.
Yes he is bad.
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.
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 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.
