But throughout the season it will be up to Dray and the coaching staff to teach him how to defend without lowering his arms or biting pump fakes. One hand close to the opponents hip and one hand in the air is enough for Wiseman to guard anyone on the floor if he is strong enough. He will not need to jump to trouble anyone matched against him. And if he doesn't bite the pump fakes, him jumping right after his opponents shoots should just give him enough time and space to block the shot because of his athleticism, height and Wingspan

And I agree up to a point. His mentality is an open question, and that can hamstring all of it.

I just don’t see where that strong conviction comes from..The two high schools games of him I’ve seen , he had good moments but didn’t compete as hard down the stretch as his opponent did..add on the fact that he didn’t even finish his college season , and that’s where my doubts comes from..I havnt seen the fire yet..Does he even like to compete? I’m not sure

If not factoring in competitive desire, ya I’d take him with the Warriors pick

Most Aircraft Carriers dont have the fire (Most people don’t have it)...POB, Joe Barely Cares Carroll etc

There’s around 2800 7 footers in the entire world ..so finding one that’s between 19 to 35 , athletic, and competitive? That’s very rare

Capela and McGee are both good players...rim runners who can catch the lob...long wingspans...can be disruptive on D but won't be able to switch and show...that's basically all Wiseman will ever be...

No dude stop lying. McGee and Capella cannot shoot or handle the ball without turning it over which Wiseman can already do. That eliminates them as his potential ceiling and makes him the best 7ft prospect in a while

I've seen Wiseman handle the ball and not turn it over in an empty gym against orange cones...

1. Avdija
2. Williams
3. Wiseman

With weak conviction

I just saw a scouting video of Okongwu..The guy kept comparing him to Bam13..Good luck with that lol..Bam has a genius b-ball IQ, handles and a shot ..

The hype on some of these guys has zero basis in reality

And if I’m his first game he fouls out or misses a rotation you guys will be all over me. No worries.

Like my new sig?

Any others you got?

Has the NBA put a tentative date out yet for the Draft?

You get those guys, you get small-ball, run-n-gun Phoenix Suns of late 90s/mid-2000s!

How many titles did those teams win?

Mylie10 wrote:There’s no waste in regards to Wiseman. He’d play right away, and the improvement throughout the year, to Playoff time would be drastic in a positive sense.

He absolutely does not hurt a title run next season. He enhances it.
