What about the talent that is said to be good? What about the potential? is a dignified and dazzling person, and he has become a homeless man in just 4 years.
According to Evan Sidery, the Pistons are reluctant to make a qualification offer for James Wiseman, which means that the '20 Roster pick is about to become a full free agent, and what awaits him may only be a base salary......
Once upon a time, Wiseman was the most high-profile rookie in the league, because his team was the Golden State Warriors, one of the most successful teams in NBA history, and the Bay Area was at its lowest point at that time, Durant left, Curry and Klay Thompson were injured one after another, and the Warriors that season only won 15 games, ranking first in the league, so they got a valuable eye pick and used it to pick Wiseman.
The outside of the Warriors is historic, they have 2 super shooters, but in terms of the inside, the Warriors have always had shortcomings, they hope that the addition of Wiseman can make the team's offense and defense more impeccable, but who would have thought that although this guy's talent is impeccable, the technique is not bad, but the ball quotient is too average, and he can't implement the Warriors' complex tactics at all, and the Warriors are disheartened in just one season.
Averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, it's reasonable for a rookie, but in some high-level statistics, his performance is quite bad.
On the offensive end, Wiseman's soft touch is not reflected at all, often misses the second offense, the shooting rate is only 33%, and the offensive efficiency of 101.8 per 100 rounds is second to 93.6% of the players in the league, ranking 5th from the bottom in the same position;
On the defensive end, Wiseman's level is even lower, conceding 110.6 points per 100 possessions, and his defensive efficiency is at the bottom of the team;
It's just poor offense and defense, as a center, he can't even do a good job of blocking and blocking, the rebounding rate can't even enter the top 50 in the league, and the average cover assist per game is only 1.8, less than half of Adams and Valanciunas.
After entering the second season, Wiseman's position was slowly replaced by Looney, although the latter's talent is not as good as him, and he can't score too many points in a game, but as an insider, Looney's cover quality, card position, and basket finishing rate are much more reliable than Wiseman, and it is the main contribution of the team's return to the top in 22 years.
Looney's growth accelerated the time for Wiseman to leave the team, and before the trade deadline last year, he was sent to the Pistons by the Warriors.
Wiseman's style of play is still not tough enough.
Let him attack, not aggressive, not efficient;
Let him defend, the single defense is often violent, the pace can't keep up, and he doesn't have any ability to protect the frame;
Let him be a blue-collar worker, the cover is not tight, the rebounds cannot be grabbed, the ball is transmitted slowly, and the tactics cannot be executed.
When Wiseman is on the floor, the Pistons are conceding 3.7 fewer points per 100 possessions on offense and 3.5 more per 100 possessions on the defensive end, which is still the case on a team with a belly, let alone a strong team.
Of course, Wiseman is still very young, so he shouldn't be eliminated by the NBA, but as a leader, his salary is too high, and the qualification offer has reached $15 million, and if it is a base salary, it can still be scratched.
