James Wiseman 2021/2022

I've also seen Lacob, Myers, Duns gone Wild, and GP2. GP2 was high fiving the guys coming off the floor for halftime.
In other news, I know this is the Gleague, but Wiseman does not look tentative, scared, lost, or any of those warning signs we saw last year. He looks hungry and he's eating thus far in this game.

After an aggressive offensive rebound / followed by a dunk he was asking for more from the crowd. Double double at the end of the 1st half. Think he's at 10 and 11 or 10 and 12? Something like that.

Kerr, Dunleavy Jr, and Bob.

Edit. And it appears Lacob is there as well.

Wiseman really hit the boards like a man on a mission in the first half. Unfortunately his hands don't seem to be any better than last season. Maybe Fred Biletnikoff could lend him some stick-um....

Double/double at half time. His game looks good the last few minutes before the half. Not passive at all like last year.

Hope he never shoots 3s unless wide open if he can attack the rim like this.

Love the rebounding and the quickness on his dunks. Don't like him getting frustrated on the bad lob pass. Physically his knee looks good and his conditioning looks ready. I am interested to see if after two games they have seen enough and they bring him for some burn. I want to see him with this roster.

Why is he 5/12? Bigs shouldn't shoot less than 60%.

I like the aggressiveness he's shown and competing. One of the things I didn't like seeing from him last year was not fighting for position / looseballs / etc... had some passiveness to him. Haven't seen any passiveness thus far.

He was 1/4 when I started watching.

The misses I saw where 2 missed alley oops (bad passes on both- thanks Cheezy) but not sure if those counted as misses.
He missed a gimme inside (then grabbed the board and got fouled). I feel like this happened twice, but could be mistaken.
And... think he missed a mid range baseline shot also.

Just missed a spinning hook shot in the lane. Telegraphed the move IMO.

Yea I saw that one. He's still stopping the ball and trying to create for himself, sigh.

Yeah, that was like the first time I've seen this game. So not sure if its enough to be concerned about.

My pure speculative guess is that he knew he was coming out of the game and hadn't gotten a touch last 4ish trips down and was intent on making something happen.

I like Weatherspoon's game. I love him driving to the basket... Very clean. Now if he can just learn to shoot 3s, he will be WAY better than DLee.

Totally agree. Love his toughness.

19/14 + 2 blocks in 21 minutes... nice one.

looks like his game is done. I wonder if they have seen enough to bring him up?

As far as I know they only brought him down for the two games. I'm guessing he'll be back with the team tomorrow.

Thought his timing generally looked better on defense. Still a couple weird angle vertical contests, and one semi-transition play he just fell asleep on the ball handler. The size and length definitely showed on the glass.

Not sure what the make of the offense. If he's going to be ball stopping with Curry, Klay, Poole, etc on the floor that's obviously going to be a big problem, but can't gauge that on a G-League squad.

These guys are quick:

Watch on YouTube

Easter egg: Amir Johnson (somehow still 34 years old) at the end of the video.

I was skeptical on how people said he looked bigger in interviews. Thought it could have just been a lot of water weight from missed time but he looks like he added some muscle

Hopefully he can have an injury free off-season to train and improve by leaps & bounds.

Our future core of Wiseman/Poole/Moody/Kuminga is gonna be amazing in time.

Those guys should soak up all the bench minutes next season.
