In the middle of the uncertainty surrounding the Warriors’ trade for Gary Payton II was 21-year-old center James Wiseman.
It marked the end of Wiseman's tenure with the Warriors. The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft was selected to be the team's center of the future but never lived up to the expectations due to a flurry of injuries and inconsistent play when he did receive opportunities.
Wiseman needs a chance to play heavy minutes and learn from his mistakes on the floor. The Warriors, in the middle of a difficult mission to defend their NBA championship, could not afford to give him those opportunities this season..
"A lot of confidence that he'll be around this league a long time. I don't know what his ceiling is, it's a guy I want to see figure it out and have an opportunity.". The Warriors hope to have him on the court by the time the playoffs roll around in April.Wiseman, on the other hand, is set to make his Pistons debut on Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics.
"It’s a new start for me so I’m just embracing everything," Wiseman said."... At the end of the day, basketball is basketball. So, I’m staying humble, just putting in work.
