Wiseman: I was supposed to be an All Star, and it was the Warriors who delayed my growth

Recently, Pistons backup center Wiseman said in an interview: In the Pistons I found my confidence, in the Warriors, they delayed my growth, otherwise I would have been an All-Star player.

It can be sensed from Wiseman's words that he is angry that the Warriors chose him but did not train him. Wiseman was selected by the Warriors in 2020 as the leader, and the Warriors thought they had found a future interior giant, but Wiseman had excellent physical talent, not only the ball quotient was not high, but the emotional intelligence was also not high.

With Wiseman's presence hurting the team, Kerr slowly stopped trusting him and stopped giving him a chance to play until the team decided to send him away.

After Wiseman was traded to the Pistons, he had Bagley as a competitor, and he worked hard for a chance to play, but he got worse and worse, and finally could only be the team's third center, and was gradually marginalized. With Bagley traded to the Wizards, Wiseman was re-activated by Monty, and Wiseman has averaged 14 games per game for the Pistons this season1 minute, 6 points and 4 rebounds, and his rookie contract expires in 2024, and it is unknown whether he can get a full contract.

Objectively speaking, Wiseman has indeed been delayed by the Warriors to a certain extent, after all, the Warriors Trident is still there, and their goal has always been the playoffs or even the championship, and it is difficult for Wiseman, who is growing slowly, to get enough opportunities. But on the other hand, the Warriors Podzemski also stood out in the competition and was reused by the team, and Wiseman as the role model shows how much the Warriors value him, but because of his own inability to cash in on his talent, and go further and further, I am afraid that even if he is selected by other teams, his ball quotient will also be difficult to cash in on talent.
