Your obvious bias.

OK, someone who disagrees with you is biased. Got it.

No, someone who disagrees with 29 other fanbases is biased. You get it?

You just compared Luka to Lamelo

Lamelo isnt Luka level man

If Lamelo was playing on Luka's level then sure we can end the conversation.

You should compare their rookie stats. It's actually pretty close and Melo is coming on fierce.

Regardless, he's close enough to Luka where your argument basically just shot itself in the foot. :lol:

LMAO at "too soon"

Let me hear it when Wiseman puts together a stretch like this. And that's a Warriors beat writer telling you.

How do I join the fan club? Is there a membership fee? Do I have to subscribe to your website?

We’re more of a cult than a fan club. To ‘subscribe’ you just have to post about Lamelo everyday, twice a day.

Lol......I love Ball too. It’s just that it seems like I have to act like Warriors fans and the front office have their heads totally up their butts for liking Wiseman too lol

Why are the members of this board arguing about the Ball vs. Wiseman draft pick?

So, the Warriors mistakenly picked Wiseman over Ball. Let's move on. It would, however, make sense to figure out how to get the most utility out of Wiseman by first identifying the deficiencies in his game and improve upon them.

1. Can Wiseman improve as a rebounder?
I believe that he can. He needs to block out his man on the defensive end and get more aggressive on the offensive end. Yet, these skills will only develop through more practice, skill development, and playing time. It will be painful for us to watch, but Wiseman can improve in this area.

2. Can Wiseman develop better "hands" so that he can become a better recipient of passes on the block and in traffic?
Big question mark on this one. Wiseman's hands painfully remind me of a "'poor man's' version of Adonal Foyle's hands," and that is pretty depressing.

3. Can Wiseman develop a low block game on offense?
I believe so. Again, practice, skill development, and playing time are going to all play into this equation. It would be amazing to see Wiseman develop a respectable low block offensive game to where he consistently would draw a double-team. If Wiseman can get to this point of development, then it will be incumbent upon Myers and Kerr to surround Wiseman with three-point shooters, and for us fans to hope that Wiseman can develop his passing skills from the low block (think Hakeem Olajuwon during the Rocket championship years).

4. Can Kerr utilize Wiseman on the perimeter, especially when on the floor with Green, where Green or even Wiggins could play on the block?
Green can easily find cutters as well as open perimeter players and get the ball to them quickly and efficiently. Wiggins can draw the double on the block (because of his ability to post up and pose a scoring threat) and needs to develop a better "feel" for finding the open man. I can see Wiseman and his spacing being an offensive weapon for the Warriors.

5. Can Wiseman become a better one-on-one and help defender?
Yes. Again, Wiseman needs time to develop.

The team drafted Wiseman and many will disagree with the pick, especially when we see Ball showing consistent play and flashes of potential superstar talent. Yet, Wiseman is not a bust. I am rooting for Wiseman to develop into, minimally, a double-double (points and rebounds) player.

So my question for Green was, “Can he shoot good percentages?”

Well so far he’s answered those quite well. His body is obviously rail thin, but he will put on weight naturally.

He seems to be aggressively and doesn’t give me the Wiggins worries. As far as being an aggressive player.

So I think I’m moving Green ahead of Kuminga and possibly Suggs. The only reason I have Suggs so high is because he’s so efficient. And his size at pg is good.

But damn Green is shooting pretty good, so props to the kid.

And Green is sooo fast. I am still hoping for Suggs because he could be used in so many combinations.

Jalen Rose claims that the Warriors told Lamelo that they would draft him at #2 and then didn't.

And you're trusting the guy who got 81 hung on him?

for sure someone in the front office was afraid of dealing with Lavar, his poor shooting and defense. They opted for the safer and quieter pick.
