The NBA's 2023-2024 All-Star Game is about to begin, which is also an annual entertainment tournament that gathers the league's biggest players. And this year's All-Star has once again returned to the East-West confrontation mode, which also adds a lot of expectations and highlights to the game. Compared to the excitement of the All-Star Game, the annual off-court news is also interesting, and today's protagonist has come to the once talented inside Wiseman. A few days ago, Wiseman said in an interview, "In Detroit I'm starting to regain my confidence, I know the right way to play, there's a really fun bunch of guys here, and I think I can do better and have a chance to live up to my talent." If it weren't for the Warriors delaying my growth, I think I would have had a chance to be an All-Star. ”
There's no doubt that being smart is really being smart, and whether Wiseman is really complaining or teasing, it's clear that he takes himself too seriously. As a 220-year-old rookie, Wiseman is indeed talented, but his strength is just talented, and under the flickery of his excellent agent, the Warriors also used the roster to win the talent. In his first season with the Warriors, Wiseman played in just 39 games due to injury, averaging 21 per game4 minutes, to be able to get 115 points 58 rebounds. In terms of Wiseman's rookie season stats alone, it can be said that it is unsatisfactory, but in combination with the actual performance of the season, Wiseman can be called disastrous. That season, the Warriors deliberately cultivated Wiseman and gave him enough time and opportunities, but Wiseman's actual performance on the court was a big disappointment, not only did he not understand the tactical run, he couldn't even do basic blocking and dismantling, and he often had a lack of concentration, coupled with the big colander performance on the defensive end, which also made Wiseman often a burden to the team, and he was *** on the court
After entering the second season of his career, Wiseman has not played a game, partly due to injuries, and a large part because Kerr does not want Wiseman to play. The Warriors had a relatively healthy season that season and showed good athletic form. Wiseman was healthy in the second half of the season, but the coaching staff chose to reimburse Wiseman for the season out of satisfaction with Wiseman's protection and chemistry with the team's current situation, and Wiseman also spent his second season on the sidelines. But fortunately, although Wiseman did not play, the Warriors successfully won the championship that year, and Wiseman, as a member of the Warriors, also tasted the championship early.
After his third season, Wiseman has obviously gotten stronger, but his progress has been too slow, and his efficiency on the court is still very poor, often at the bottom of the game. The poor performance also caused the team to lose patience with Wiseman, and in the end, after just 21 games, the Warriors abandoned the former talent and sent him to Detroit. The Pistons, who came to the rebuilding period, originally thought that it would be a new starting point for Wiseman, but it turned out that he could indeed become another leader. Although when he first joined the Pistons, he could still contribute an average of 12 per game7 points 81 rebound, but his actual performance on the court is still unsatisfactory. He has a lot of talent, he has no characteristics, his progress has been very slow in the past three years, and his learning ability and self-motivation are very poor.
After Monty took over the Pistons, Wiseman's role and status on the team were reduced again, and he was once hidden, and the team regarded him as a third backup interior lineman, gradually marginalized. With Bagley being traded, Wiseman has gradually returned to the rotation, and so far this season, he has played in 35 games for the Pistons, averaging 14In 1 minute of playing time, he scored 6 points and 4 rebounds. Although the numbers have dropped a lot, Wiseman has really improved, and he has begun to recognize reality and be willing to be ordinary. Although his net efficiency is still poor, Wiseman is clearly much happier now than he was with the Warriors!
Overall, although Wiseman is only 22 years old, he is basically difficult to live up to his strength, and maybe the Warriors are not doing a good job of developing him, but he does have a big problem of his own. Even if he wasn't drafted by the Warriors, Wiseman would have struggled to grow into an All-Star-caliber player. And after the rookie contract expires, Wiseman may only be able to accept the base salary contract, and may even fade out of the league, which can't help but make people sigh!
