On average there are around 70 total male humans under 40 years old in the USA that are at least 7 feet tall. There are 30 NBA teams that all would like to have 2. Short of injury he's going to be in the NBA in 5 years.

Actually I now wonder if there has ever been a top 5 pick 7 footer who didn't make it 5 years NOT because of health issues? (And I'd count drug issues as a health issue just in case).

Hasheem Thabeet was a stiff from Day One and he still lasted years in the Association. Wiseman has far, far more potential.

0-1.

Been a huge Wiseman hater this past season, but now that I’m over not selecting Lamelo Ball - I’m all in (again) on Wisemans development. I don’t think he’ll make a huge leap year 2, but in years 3-4. He’s already practicing guard skills like dribbling, driving, 3pointers....in a few years if he keeps practicing he can be a really good player.

0 not because of talent but because of competition. jokic, gobert, towns, mobley, ayton, and davis.

"He will be out of the league in five years."

I'll bet Wiseman will be in the league many years longer than you'll be on this board.

No idea on how many All-Star games Wiseman will/will not make. However, his jump shot is already at age-20 more polished than the Greek Freak's. While we cannot mention Wiseman and Giannis in the same sentence when talking about defense and rebounding (Wiseman is horrible at both...sigh...), Wiseman has a natural stroke to his shot, and Giannis does not.

I’m still a huge supporter of Wiseman and think he’ll blossom with an off season and full training camp.

Off-season and training camp are crucial, but a lot depends on how he recovers and rehabs from the knee surgery. I haven't seen any progress reports on him which would be welcome.

If nothing else he can be working on the mental parts of the game even during rehab.
