I really thought he was going to be the future of the warriors now it's just sad he's a warmer on the worst team in the league
STILL WISH THEY DRAFTED LAMELO INSTEAD💯MELO WOULDVE BEEN SO PERFECT INSTEAD OF JORDAN POOLE
Bro's face just doesn't match his voice.
Is HRef just a muppet being voiced by Kermit the frog? There's no proof the bottom half of his body exists… 🤔
The second pick in the NBA draft is a highly coveted draft slot.
Yet, when you look at the recent history of second overall picks, it is a very uninspiring bunch of players.
Looking specifically over the past twenty years, even the better players to have been selected have not been that great.
Players that have not lived up to the hype from this decade include Evan Turner (2010), Derrick Williams (2011), Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (2012), Jabari Parker (2014), and Marvin Bagley (2018), James Wiseman (2020)。
I really believe he will do well in indy
ngl hoops kinda looks like blarg mixed with jeromeasf
As a warriors fan this sucks for him. Because Steve Kerr a person I hate since 2023 never played the young guys and after they don’t play well they trade them because they were not that good even though you played them 12 minutes per game.
I don't get it – if he wanted to play under Hardaway, because he clearly thought of him as a good coach and/or role-model, since his tenure in the NBA, why was it such a big deal?
In Europe it's pretty common players go after their fav coaches and nobody bats an eye
Wiseman is not a Bust. He is only 23 years old. He has improved on defense! In 2022-2023 he started 24 games played 25 minutes. Scored 12 points a game. 8 rebounds the defense went from 30th to 15th in games he started.
Wiseman last year was top 30th in the league in rebounds and got two contested rebounds a game.
Give Wiseman a chance trust
Stop using wiseman as clickbait. Your statistics are bogus. He will fill the Jalen smith role. He is only 23 years old and bigger this year and more confident. He will be better in Indiana. Go Pacers
I don't get all the negative comments I'm seeing lately, I always tune in because your videos are chill, and your takes are generally reasonable, even if they aren't always accurate, which most basketball takes end up being.
James Wiseman Got So Much Potential
I still think James Wiseman could've been a good player in the league if he was drafted to a team without championship expectations and was allowed to play through his mistakes and learn what he needs to do better. He didn't get any real development minutes in his first two seasons, and by the time he was sent to a team where he could actually get minutes, he was older, his reputation was worse, and his confidence was shot.
I mean imagine if the Warriors had drafted Lamelo instead, would they have tolerated his shot chucking, highlight chasing, ball dominating, lazy defending ways? Would he have been allowed to develop the way he has in Charlotte, or would his weaknesses have caused Steve Kerr to shut him out?
to be fair, he was pretty irrelevant last season, so you could make the argument that he met that in 4 years not 5.
Nice shirt. You have great taste. Sixers in 7.
The knicks should not make a trade. They should just wait and see if they Wiseman
I advise puting your notes behind the camera or trying to memorise them, because you not making eye contact during the whole is intro is hella awkward
Wiseman bout to ball this year started last year with limited minutes
ey as long as he not a dumbass with money he's still set for generational wealth lol. All he needs to do is keep 5 Mill plus in Savings and he can just literally sit. Im sure Tacko Fall is doing similar lol
This video's title promotes such a poor take.
The GSW were already considered a DYNASTY by many before Wiseman arrived.
Many would question if there actually was a "missing piece".
However, seeing as the Warriors were NBA Champs in Wiseman's rookie year, AND Wiseman received a ring, one could say he filled in as a ""missing piece" well enough to earn a ring.
I'm still trying to get use to see ol boy….lol….but love the show..keep it up bruh
Bigs are always hit or miss for some reason but I really feel for Wiseman he just got injured in his rookie year and it went down hill after that.
I've got no issues with the man but I hope he's been banking those paychecks. He's not long for this league and you KNOW those millions he made, HALF went to taxes and his agent.
I think Wiseman can be serviceable as a Clint Capela type but his problem is he needs to play with players and in a system that can create shots for him.
Golden State is about spacing, player/ball movement and i feel Wiseman needs to play in a far simpler system. Detroit's problem is they haven't matured as a team and Wiseman isnt the type to manufacture his own offense
Damn wiseman is in indiana, would love my raps to take a chance on him if it dont work there
