His parents’ fault. He needed to be born three years earlier.
I wish people would get off this. I get painted as a Wiseman basher a lot, but I’m not, I’m just being realistic about the TIMING of his development. This kid hasn’t been old enough to drink legally for a full year, and he has just over 50 competitive games of basketball TOTAL since high school.
There is nothing either wrong or unexpected about his current state of development, and no one is “at fault” for it. He will (most likely) be good someday, but not someday soon.

I think he hit the nail on the head when it comes to how we could try to help Wiseman develop. I understand the need for him to learn to bed an effective drop coverage big but at the moment he’s really struggling. Switching could be a way to alleviate some of his defensive struggles because atm hes head more success there compared to drop.
Similarly on offense Wiseman clearly wants to shoot the ball. My mind still goes back to his second NBA game where we ran him through screening actions to even get him an open look and he ended up with 3 made threes. He did that twice early in his career and then never again. Why just stop?
