James Wiseman is ready to show what made him the second overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Going into his first full season with the Detroit Pistons, the fourth year big man was at the top of Troy Weaver’s big board that year due to his tremendous upside.
It’s time Wiseman’s potential manifests into productivity. Focusing on what he does at a high level now will earn him minutes to expand his game moving forward. Wiseman doesn’t need a lot of touches to be effective, fewer post-ups, more cleaning up should be his calling card. Not to minimize his role, but to maximize his strengths and effectiveness on the floor.
