There's a lot of hype in the bay right now. TheGolden State Warriors used their highly-coveted second-overall pick to land James Wiseman in the 2020 NBA Draft, and there are many reasons why he was considered the best prospect in his class just a couple of years ago.

Wiseman didn't even play a lot in college due to a suspension, yet his status as a top-3 pick was never in doubt. That's just the kind of gifted athlete he is and just how much of a star most scouts believe he'll turn into.

Notably, Warriors players and staff members have raved about Wiseman and what he can already bring to the table, yet his coach Steve Kerr wants to pull the brakes and let everybody know that they'll go easy on him.

Steve Kerr Compares James Wiseman With David Robinson

So, when asked about Wiseman and how he's looked during the first couple of team practices, Kerr compared him to a young David Robinson - which is a lot to say - and lauded his talent but admitted that there's still plenty of work to do.

“He’s the equivalent of a sophomore in college who red-shirted his first year. Where he is now, compared to where he's going to be two years from now, two different things (...) the package you don't see very often but there's zero experience in that package right now. So our job is to help him gain the experience at a reasonable pace. Not overloading him (...) Picture David Robinson as a sophomore at Navy, that's the guy you're comparing him to. Not the All-Star with the Spurs," the coach said.

Obviously, there aren't many players who are ready to dominate in the NBA right away, let alone if they barely played in college. Then again, when you haven't even played a single minute as a pro and are already drawing comparisons to Hall of Famers, you know that you're a special kind of talent.
