The second place re-employment, Wiseman may get a 2-year intention contract, and the right time and place may become a good opportunity for him to turn things around.
In the NBA draft, all players who can be selected by the top three picks have great potential and extraordinary strength. So when they don't play the expected performance, the team will be even more frustrated. The Warriors' second-tier Wiseman selected in 2020 is a very typical example.
Before the 2020 draft, people speculated that the Warriors would use their picks to select an inside player. Among the big players at that time, Wiseman was extremely talented, and after him, there were only short inside players like Okonggu and Jaylen Smith, who were only 2.06 meters tall.
At that time, the Warriors were worried that they would not get the big man in the second place. After all, as the former No. 1 high school student in the United States, Wiseman has a coveted dynamic and static talent. Although he only played 3 games in the NCAA field, he was investigated and suspended because the then-college coach "Penny" Hardaway paid for his rental fee.
In the three games played in the NCAA, Wiseman averaged 19.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. Perhaps it is precisely because of the few appearances that people covet his potential even more. At 2.13 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.26 meters, and also has the maneuverability of a forward line. At that time, many people thought that Wiseman might become the next Anthony Davis.
In Wiseman's first year as a Warriors rookie, he did see his potential to become a future All-Star. He averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage reached 51.9%. In the game, Wiseman not only did a very good job in finishing the game after pick-and-roll, but even had good potential in mid- and long-distance shooting, with a per-game three-pointer and a shooting percentage of 31.6%. This makes people believe that after 2-3 years of growth, Wiseman may become the leader of the Warriors' new generation of players.
But things didn't go as expected. Wiseman missed more than a season due to injury. After his comeback, everything that favored him changed. In the year of his season reimbursement, the Warriors won the championship again, which may have made the management understand something. The team's previous lineup was far from being dispersed and started again.
It is precisely because of the change in the team's training environment and the problem of Wiseman's own condition that his average playing time was reduced to 12.5 minutes, and Wiseman was also at a disadvantage in the competition with Kumingga. Wiseman is not as good as Cuminga in terms of physical condition and enthusiasm for playing on the court. Then the Warriors decided to give up the second place and trade it to the Pistons.
In the Pistons, Wiseman's attitude problem has not changed at all. When cooperating with the pick-and-roll, Wiseman was unable to provide effective cover for his teammates because he was in advance. On the defensive end, his attitude was even more lazy. The team thought he had gained a defensive gate, but unexpectedly, after Wiseman came on the court, he became the biggest "defensive colander" on the court.
Even in the first season of the Pistons, Wiseman averaged 12.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage reached 53.1%. However, at the end of the following season, Wiseman was also abandoned by the Pistons. Last season, after joining the Pacers and Raptors, Wiseman only had 5 minutes of playing time in total.
, and recently, according to Ary, the Pacers intend to reach a two-year non-guarantee contract with Wiseman. This may be a good opportunity for Wiseman to turn things around. Not long ago, the Pacers insider Turner announced his departure and reached a four-year contract with the Bucks for over $100 million. Moreover, Halliburton, the team's absolute core, is likely to not return next season, and the team may choose to give up next season.
So Wiseman may have a good playing time in the new season. If he can prove himself with this opportunity, he may continue to find a job in the league. If Wiseman cannot seize the opportunity this time, this 2020 NBA second-tier player will say goodbye to the league in 5 seasons. Do you think Wiseman is still possible to play?
