Incredible game tonight. Ws needed a player like him. He wasn’t able to get it done there, glad to see him doing better in Motown
His third season has now played 71 games. 11 with Detroit.
They have the timeline to give him minutes to develop.
Whats their record with him in the lineup?

Took the words out of my mouth!
Wiseman’s progress has been noticeable
He is not a bust

The question was never really his talent. It is whether he will be able to maximize his talent to be a winning player. We know he's an athletic freak, but can he make the proper defensive rotations or the right pass? Will his hands ever develop to the point that he doesn't bobble simple passes? He still has a ways to go. Fortunately, Detroit is in a position where they can let him play through his mistakes. Is he a bust? Too early too tell. But he hasn't played up to his draft position so far
Hope he and Cam can team up in the future on a (lottery) super team!
Too bad they didn't trade him to the Spurs.
Duren, Wiseman, Ivy, Cade (if healthy) and a pick is starting to look like something.
They literally just threw the kid away, bad job by the warriors. Probably could have gotten him for isiah and just went with Obi and Simms as backups.
i have only looked at his bookstore sporadically
i thought the knock on him was his defense, rotations, losing his man etc.

You really think OBI is a 5?

It's Kevin Knox again. There's a lot of value for tanking teams to feed minutes to guys who are a minus on the court. It's not about development as much as it is an excuse for the front office to lose games, draft Wembabyama, and then get a contract extension. Kind of an f-ed up playbook.
