WISEMAN EXPECTATIONS: Year 1

reading the athletic this morning Ethan Strauss wrote that the Warriors were tweaking Wiseman's shot by moving his guide hand to the side of the ball for more consistency and accuracy. Build that muscle memory big fella! I really wish we were going to get a look at him in the preseason but it is what it is.

Kerrs being overly cautious. I think we’ll see some of Wiseman. He’s already in the gym, he just needs several negative tests and he should be fine.

Sounds like a threat ... what are you going to do if they don't?

Haven't been this excited for a rookie since I've been a warriors fan in 05 (too young otherwise). Like curry had some celebrity but I didn't expect too much from his rookie year. I was also too young for the last top picks in Webber and dun dun.

Chriss shot 244 threes his rookie year. That blew me away when I looked it up. Now I don’t want him shooting that many, but he may surprise people a bit with some range.

If Wiseman doesn't beat out Chris for starting center...he's a bust.

This sounds like a cpower take :lol:

Found this predator breakdown and I didn’t think it had been posted before. Pretty in depth and with interesting analysis. Enjoy.

I really don’t like the comparisons. I wish he didn’t say anything like that

I’m a big believer in transparency..He’s excited and letting the fan base be in on it.

I really agree with Thorpe that big men have to be able to defend in space which makes a big man valuable. If they can defend anyone and stay on the floor that’s what makes a big valuable and that’s before we even get to offense.

He is in the perfect situation to thrive right away. He should win ROTY no problem if he's as billed.

I feel like Kerr is super excited for Wiseman but is trying to be reserved with his excitement so he doesn’t look too biased, and would rather Wiseman’s game be the one to put the league on notice.

Scoots1994 · Post #97 » by **Scoots1994** » Thu Dec 17, 2020 8:33 pm

It really sucks that he lost the offseason with the coaches, summer league, a full training camp and full pre-season. It kind of does mean that he's starting out behind and things like mechanics are going to have to wait until next off-season.

ROY is mostly about scoring. Remember Tyreke Evans beat Steph for ROY.

I always find it amusing when a guy who has probably been in the top .00000001% of people in height all of his life, and viewed by almost everyone as "massive", meets someone who they feel is massive by comparison.
