<p>Injuries, lack of playing time in college, inconsistency, and some tough luck made it difficult for him to make an impact early in his career. And the Warriors c<strong>ouldn’t afford to wait for him any longer.</strong></p>
<p>So, they pretty much shipped him in a salary-dump deal to bring <strong>Gary Payton II</strong> back.

<p><em>“I think between the injuries and the inexperience coming into a team like ours that is fighting for championships,”</em> Kerr said.<em><strong>“Playing with a group that has been together for a long time, it was just difficult for me to give James the runway that he needed.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Wiseman was once considered<strong> the best prospect in his class.</strong> And he has the physical tools to be an elite two-way player, even as an old-school center in a perimeter-oriented league. So, hopefully, he’ll finally get the reps and minutes he needs to fulfill that untapped physical potential.</p>

<p>Notably, that means adding more win-now players to the second unit, as their bench has struggled vastly for most of the season. <strong>Steve Kerr </strong>is usually a master at pulling off his rotations, but he can only do so much with the hand he’s been given right now.</p>
<p>With that in mind,<strong> Bleacher Report insider Zach Buckley</strong> predicts the Dubs could look to add more shooting, size, and ball-handling. So, they could try and trade <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-gm-bob-myers-gets-real-on-the-current-golden-state-warriors-roster-situation-20221124-0060.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Wiseman</a> and Ryan Rollins for Kelly Olynyk.</strong></p>
<h2>NBA Rumors: Warriors Could Pursue Kelly Olynyk</h2>
<p><strong>(via Zach Buckley – Bleacher Report)</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“His steady shooting, slick passing and sky-high basketball IQ would make him a seamless fit in this offense. </strong>He has played above his head so far, but even when regression comes for the 31-year-old, he’d have plenty to give Golden State in a reserve role. <strong>The second unit has badly needed ball movement—which is why Draymond Green has been such an impactful addition to it—and you could argue that’s the strongest part of Olynyk’s arsenal.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>He has some deficiencies on defense, and they are probably damaging enough to keep him from ever sniffing Golden State’s closing group</strong>. For the biggest Wiseman believers in the Warriors front office, shipping him out for a non-star, non-closer would be rough. <strong>Still, there is no arguing against Olynyk being substantially more helpful to the current club than the outgoing package here.”</strong></em></p>

<p>The Jazz have played quite well, but it’s only a matter of time before they<strong> start tanking and planning ahead for the future</strong>. Wiseman has looked mostly terrible to start his career, but he’s young and has the upside and physical tools to succeed.</p>
<p>Of course, parting ways with a former 2nd-overall pick is a tough blow for the Warriors. But Wiseman has barely cracked their rotation since making his debut, <strong>and they need players who can contribute right now.</strong></p>

Many reasons could get into discussion. For example,less vacation time, more inside problems than usual, and the young crew that sits on the bench each game. However, it wasn’t always like this. In fact, it was never like this inside the Dubs organization since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-steve-kerr-makes-bold-statement-about-golden-state-warriors-current-season-20221116-0059.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Steve Kerr</strong></a>arrived.</p>
<p>Since the <strong>2014 season</strong>, the Warrios have never had this type of issues. Within the roster nobody had any problems, the bench was deep in terms of defense and offense, which led to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-stephen-curry-breaks-the-silence-on-his-finals-mvp-snub-20221123-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stephen Curry</strong></a>, <strong>Klay Thompson,</strong> and <strong>Draymond Green</strong> to be rested enough to close out wins for the Dubs.</p>
<p>However, it seems like the Warriors’ front office led by <strong>Bob Myers</strong> have forgotten how to design and build up a championship-contender team. For example, there isn’t good enough bench players to <strong>make good rotation</strong>, and the ones that are supposed to carry the team in the second unit are not able <strong>to keep up with the game</strong>. However, Myers himself has addressed to all of this <strong>concerns</strong>.</p>
<h2>Warriors News:GM Bob Myers gets real on the currentroster situation</h2>
<p>In the 95.7 The Game Show hosted by Steiny and Guru, the Warriors GM<strong>Bob Myers</strong> stated his plan for the young stars drafted in the last couple of NBA events has started to fall apart due to the unexperienced five-player lineup that Steve Kerr sends to the court. “<em><strong>You draft what you think is the best guy then the challenge is to find a way to make them fit and I think early on at least in this season we hace found that playing a lot of youth together wasn’t looking very good.”</strong></em></p>
<p>The Warriors’ GM is talking about the situation with young talents such as <strong>Jonathan Kuminga</strong>, <strong>Moses Moody</strong>, and <strong>James Wiseman</strong>. In fact, the last No. 2 overall pick was sent out to the NBA G League’s team of the Warriors, the Santa Cruz for an undefined period of time, which means he clearly needs way more time than usual to be fit for the NBA level.</p>
<p>In fact, the last game rotation against the Los Angeles Clippers, Kerr sent out the young crew led by Draymond Green for the first time in a while. Which was mentioned earlier in the week. However, there’s another issue inside the Warriors, with Stephen Curry, who has been spotted by the TV unhappy when he sees how bad the team is performing.<strong>“If you guys were the GM and you had him, it’s almost like a cheat code and your responsibility is to not screw it up,” Myers said. “Do not screw his career up.”</strong>Myers said in the latest episode of “All the Smoke”.</p>

<p>The <strong>Warriors’ dynasty</strong> won’t be the exception to that rule, which is why they’ve gone to great lengths to build for the future as well. However, some of the youngsters are evidently not ready to contribute yet.</p>
<p>With that in mind, there’s a chance <strong>Bob Myers </strong>and the Warriors take a bit of a U-Turn.

<h2>NBA Rumors: Golden State Warriors Hav Multiple Trade Targets</h2>
<p><strong>(Via Heavy)</strong></p>
<p><em>“There has been chatter in NBA circles about the possibility of the Warriors trading Wiseman, with more experienced big men—<strong>swapping Jakob Poeltl of the Spurs for Wiseman is one trade possibility that has made the rounds—coming back in the deal.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>The Warriors also could look to move Wiseman for general depth, which is a need for a team that ranks last in the NBA in bench net rating (minus-7.2).<strong> The likes of Toronto’s Gary Trent Jr., Utah’s Malik Beasley or Memphis’ Dillon Brooks would be ideal, though the Warriors might have to give up too much (some combination of Donte DiVincenzo, Jonathan Kuminga and/or Moses Moody) to make salaries match for a deal to work.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Knowing what a good fit <strong>Gary Payton II </strong>was before leaving for a payday in Portland this summer, the Warriors even could look to swap Wiseman to the Blazers to bring him back.”</em></p>

<p>We’ve seen players make a big push for more minutes after dominating in the preseason. They can crack the rotation or get more playing time, and some even wind up becoming starters, at least during the first stretch of the campaign.</p>
<p>With that in mind, we encourage you to tune in and watch some of <strong>these <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-tyler-herro-and-young-players-poised-to-become-first-time-all-stars-20221003-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">young men</a> play in the preseason,</strong> as they might as well earn a spot in the starting five. But who are they? Let’s find out.</p>
<h2>NBA News: Young Players To Watch In The Preseason</h2>
<h3>3. TyTy Washington</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221004_BUS_201945_tyty_washington.jpg_22993414_d821ba9b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    TyTy Washington – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>TyTy Washington </strong>couldn’t play all that much during college due to injury, but he was considered the best point guard prospect in his class for a reason. He’s fast, athletic, a pass-first kind of player, and a guy who can really push up the pace.</p>
<p><strong>Kevin Porter Jr. i</strong>s an explosive, streaky scorer, but neither he nor <strong>Jalen Green</strong> are true playmakers. So, Washington could take over the starting PG spot for the <strong>Houston Rockets</strong>and give them a three-headed monster in the backcourt.</p>
<h3>2. Bones Hyland</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221004_BUS_201945_bones_hyland.jpg_22993414_3e3449eb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Bones Hyland – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Jamal Murray </strong>is finally back for the <strong>Denver Nuggets, </strong>and there’s just no way he loses his starting spot. However, <strong>Bones Hyland</strong> could take over <strong>Kentavious Caldwell-Pope,</strong> even if it’s not right away.</p>
<p>Hyland showed great promise in his first season in the league. His playing time went up as the season progressed, and the Nuggets got rid of <strong>Monte Morris</strong>and <strong>Facundo Campazzo,</strong> meaning they really trust him as a big part of their future.</p>
<h3>1. James Wiseman</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221004_BUS_201945_james_wiseman_x1x.jpg_22993414_f195cc07.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    James Wiseman – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>James Wiseman </strong>missed his entire sophomore year due to an injury he suffered in his rookie campaign.<strong> Kevon Looney</strong> established himself as the starting center, anchoring the paint for the reigning NBA champions.</p>
<p>But the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> have always loved Wiseman’s skill set. He’s athletic, strong, and could turn out to be a dominant two-way big man given enough time. He’s looked great since making his return, so don’t be shocked if he takes over as their starting big man.</p>

However, those players are in a different environment which allows them to take their time in order to get what they</p>
<p>On the other hand, there are players who need to go out on the court and deliver answerstotheir team. This five-player list will give you a little bit of information about <strong>which playerswillneed to fulfill the hype</strong> all of t<strong>heir</strong><strong> fans</strong> have created.</p>
<h2>NBAplayers who need to prove their value in the 2022-23 Season</h2>
<h3>1. Anthoy Davis</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221004_BUS_201837_anthonydavisnbaplayers.jpg_1028332792_d7ab6762.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Anthony Davis – Ronald Martinez/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the most anticipated returns for the upcoming season is <strong>Anthony Davis</strong>. Forsome of you, the 29-year-old has nothing to prove as he is already an <strong>NBA Champion</strong>. However, the Los Angeles Lakers player has to prove he came back and can <strong>dominatewith ease</strong>to lift up the Lakers to the<strong>desired place</strong>.</p>
<h3>2. DeAndre Ayton</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221004_BUS_201837_deandreaytonnbaplayers.jpg_1028332792_996721ab.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Deandre Ayton – Christian Petersen/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The talent and the youth are there, but the mentality is what’s missing. The 24-year-oldgot what he wanted for his checks and balances. Now, <strong>Deandre Ayton</strong> has to deliver, especially for the <strong>Phoenix Suns</strong> as everybody knows theygot a huge hole inside the locker room after <strong>last season’s elimination game.</strong></p>
<h3>3. James Wiseman</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221004_BUS_201837_jameswisemannbaplayers.jpg_1028332792_4cc29d3f.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    James Wiseman – Ezra Shaw/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>To fill James Wiseman’s shoes, thehype and the show have to be really high. That’s why the only one that could fill those shoes are himself. A <strong>former No.2 pick overall </strong>needs to show up, especially in the current NBA Champions. However, as he starts from behindLooney’s back, <strong>Wiseman</strong> needs to improve a lot.</p>
<h3>4. Michael Porter Jr</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221004_BUS_201837_michaelporterjrnbaplayers.jpg_1028332792_5bfd82b5.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Michael Porter Jr – Matthew Stockman/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Despite <strong>Jamal Murray’s return</strong> will be on the spotlight for the <strong>Denver Nuggets</strong>, <strong>Michael Porter Jr </strong>may have a little room for improvement both on the defensive the offensive end. And with a max-deal on the way, Porter Jr needs to prove himself to be an elite and key player for the <strong>Nuggets</strong> this season.</p>
<h3>5. Ben Simmons</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221004_BUS_201837_bensimmonsnbaplayers.jpg_1028332792_b2547703.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Ben Simmons – Dustin Satloff/Getty Image   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>When <strong>Ben Simmons</strong> played for the last time in the <strong>NBA</strong>, there was too much criticism over him thathold on mostly until he returned to practice. However, as he is as good as new, Simmons has a new chance to prove that he still is worthy ofthe <strong>No.1 pick overall</strong> of the <strong>2016 NBA Draft </strong>with the<strong> Brooklyn Nets.</strong></p>

However, when a player <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-2022-2023-when-does-the-next-season-start-20220617-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>returns to play</strong></a>, those feelings are so different.</p>
<p>Sometimes when it isseason-long injury, and the team are nowhere near from playing good, that’s when an injured player is missed the most. The perfect example of this situation is <strong>Kawhi Leonard</strong> with the <strong>Los Angeles Clippers</strong>.</p>
<p>When he left the team, they were <strong>championship-contenders</strong>, and now they are one of the worst in the <strong>Western Conference</strong>. However, this long wait finally has come to an end. For the <strong>2022-23 NBA season,</strong> Kawhi Leonard and these <strong>five NBA stars</strong> are set to return to play.</p>
<h2>NBA:5 most expected returns for the upcoming season</h2>
<h2>1. Jamal Murray</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220815_BUS_197700_jamalmurrayreturn202223.jpg_1028332792_7568e25f.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets – Matthew Stockman/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Probably the most anticipated return as the Denver <strong>Nuggets</strong> hasthe two-time <strong>NBA Most Valuable Player</strong>, Nikola Jokic. Therefore, when their starting guard returns, the <strong>NBA</strong> probably is going to be a fun mess in the <strong>Western Conference</strong>.</p>
<h2>2. Zion Williamson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220815_BUS_197700_zionwilliamsonreturn202223.jpg_1028332792_aa2836aa.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans – Sean Gardner/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Despite <strong>Zion Williamson</strong> didn’t win the <strong>Rookie of Year</strong> award, the 22-year-old had a very good <strong>rookie</strong> <strong>season</strong> with an average of <strong>22 points per game</strong>. In his second season, the impact he had on the New Orleans Pelicans game was huge. That’s why with this <strong>new and improved team</strong>, the next season could be a shocker when he returns to the court.</p>
<h2>3. Anthony Davis</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220815_BUS_197700_anthonydavisreturn202223.jpg_1028332792_563fe7d6.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers – Steph Chambers/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The way <strong>Anthony Davis</strong> ended last season was heartbreaking for Los Angeles Lakers’ fans. That’s why as the new season comes in, they are excited to watch him play alongside LeBron James, once again. Especially now that it could be the King’s last season as a Lakers’player.</p>
<h2>4. James Wiseman</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220815_BUS_197700_jameswisemansreturn202223.jpg_1028332792_f8f2e9d6.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    James Wiseman of the Golden State Warriors – Ezra Shaw/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The way he got traded to the Golden State Warriors and into the NBA was shocking. He wasn’t bad at all, but his body clearly wasn’t ready for the league yet. However, as he played in the NBA Summer League recently, it is safe to assume he can have a decent comeback with proper minutes of play.</p>
<h2>5. Ben Simmons</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220815_BUS_197700_bensimmonsreturn202223.jpg_1028332792_94fe11a0.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Ben Simmons – Rob Carr/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Ben Simmons</strong> had an awful close to the <strong>2020-21 NBA Season.</strong> That’s why when he got injured, it wasn’t just physically, also the damage was mentally. Therefore, when Simmons took a trade with the Brooklyn Nets, it was the right thing to do. However, since he is a <strong>ROY award winner,</strong> and a <strong>three-time All-Star,</strong> the expectations for a big return are high.</p>
<h2>6. Kawhi Leonard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220815_BUS_197700_kawhileonardsreturn202223.jpg_1028332792_068b7746.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers – Katelyn Mulcahy/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>What the Los Angeles Clippers lost with <strong>Kawhi Leonard</strong> was huge. From the top 4 of the West Conferene to be out of the NBA Playoffs in the Play-In Tournament are big statements for what’s missing, their star. So, Leonard’s returnwith the LA franchise will be watched since day 1, in an already highly competitive Western Conference.</p>

<p>The <strong>Golden State Warriors’ Big 3</strong> composed by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/stephen-Curry-was-lucky-not-to-match-up-with-this-defender-says-indiana-pacers-legend-reggie-miller-20220625-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stephen</strong> <strong>Curry</strong></a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-klay-thompsons-game-6-performances-in-the-playoffs-20220615-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Klay</strong> <strong>Thompson</strong></a> and <strong>Draymond</strong> <strong>Green</strong>is not getting any younger, despite their recent success as <strong>seventh-time champion</strong>.That’s why <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/steve-kerrs-championships-how-many-rings-does-the-warriors-coach-have-won-20220619-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Steve</strong> <strong>Kerr</strong></a> is making a plan to build a <strong>powerful team</strong> for the upcoming seasons.</p>
<p>In fact, Kerr said<em><strong>“I think defensive recognition of patterns and rebounding, that’s what we can use from him the most. Going forward, with his talent, with his size and athleticism, there’s no reason why he can’t be a dominant defensive player in the league”</strong></em> in a press conference along with Warriors’ president <strong>Bob</strong> <strong>Myers</strong> about Wiseman skill-set<strong>.</strong></p>
<p>So after playing three G League games for the <strong>Santa Cruz Warriors </strong>earlier this yearin which Wiseman averaged 17.3 points and 9.7 rebounds, he didn’t playor train due to aswelling in his right knee. Therefore, the fact that Wiseman is really close to a fresh start isencouraging for the Dub Nation.</p>
<h2>James Wiseman is expected to play in the NBA <strong>Summer League</strong></h2>
<p>Since March 25Wiseman was ruled out for the rest of the season, the Warriors’ fan base saw his new youngstar get his first major setback. However, the Warriors team were able to win the championship with a team that has experience but lacks of young and fresh talent.</p>
<p>Although, that might come to an end as James <strong>Wiseman</strong>, Jonathan <strong>Kuminga</strong> and Moses <strong>Moody</strong> are set to return to the court. Next July, the Warriors will play in the <strong>California</strong> <strong>Classic</strong> against the Los Angeles <strong>Lakers</strong>, the Miami <strong>Heat</strong>, the Sacramento <strong>Kings</strong>and the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.<br> <span></span></p>

Warriors News: James Wiseman is expected to play in the NBA Summer League

Warriors News: James Wiseman is expected to play in the NBA Summer League - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> </strong>had plenty of options when they were entitled to the second-overall pick of the<strong> 2020 <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> draft.</strong> And while some people thought they’d get <strong>LaMelo Ball, </strong>they wound up drafting <strong>James Wiseman</strong> instead.</p>
<p>Wiseman was considered the best player in the nation during his days in high school. However, his suspension – and eventual dropout – from <strong>Memphis University</strong> raised several questions regarding his development and how ready he’d be for the NBA.</p>
<p>Thus far, he’s shown flashes of great potential, and is clear that he’s a physically gifted player but he’s yet to turn the corner and be an impactful player for the team, thus making some fans wonder whether <strong>he’s actually going to be good or not.</strong></p>

<h2>James Wiseman Says He’s Getting Advice From Kyrie Irving And Kevin Durant</h2>
<p>That’s why the rookie continues to work on his game every single day. In fact, he recently said that he reaches out to <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kevin-durant-t139314" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kevin Durant</strong> </a>on a daily basis, and that <strong>Kyrie Irving</strong> has also been quite helpful for him:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I talk to KD (Kevin Durant) every day. We talk about the system, how he was able to fit into the system here. And he just gave me a lot of advice,” </strong></em>the Warriors rookie told the media, as quoted by <strong>Anthony Slater.</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“Kyrie Irving just told me in order to separate myself from my class I have to have the effort.</strong> And just keep putting in the work. Just keep putting in more minutes and more hours into my craft. Just work hard every day,” </em>he added.</p>

<p>Thus far, Wiseman is averaging <strong>11.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, and 1.0 blocks</strong> per game on 51/33/63 shooting splits and roughly 21.7 minutes a night. Hopefully, he’ll get it going rather sooner than later and prove his critics wrong.</p>

April Fool's! Funniest memes and reactions from the best holiday - Bolavip US

<p>It’s not a secret that the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a></strong> haven’t been the same dominant team this season as they used to be in the past. They need to find answers right now as the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA’s</a> trade deadline </strong>zooms in.</p>
<p>For months, there’s been speculation regarding the Warriors’ desire to keep prized rookie <strong>James Wiseman </strong>past the deadline. He’s kind of struggled during his rookie season but flashes unlimited upside as a two-way big man.</p>
<p>And now that they continue to slide in the standings and they’re exploring some of the available talents, it seems like they would have to, at least; consider moving him if they’re serious about landing <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Rockets’</a>Victor Oladipo.</strong></p>

<h2>NBA Rumors: Houston Rockets Want James Wiseman Or A Top Pick For Victor Oladipo</h2>
<p><em><strong>“The Rockets would want one of the Warriors’ top assets, the 2021 pick from Minnesota or [James] Wiseman, both of which are conversation-enders for Golden State,”</strong></em>said Connor Letourneau <strong>of NBC Sports.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="502" data-size="w:603,h:503" data-width="603" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210321_BUS_169450_sin_txtulo.png_437870227_1468df80.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Via NBA Central   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Oladipo was one of the best two-way players in the league two seasons ago but he’s struggled with multiple injuries. Also, he’s on an expiring contract and they wouldn’t want to trade away a high pick or James Wiseman<strong> just to watch him walk away.</strong></p>
<p>Then again, the clock continues to tick and the Warriors are aware that they need to make some moves if they don’t want to <strong>miss the playoffs again </strong>this season. That means they may have to cave into Houston’s demands.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p>Thus far, the rookie out of Memphis is averaging <strong>11.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks per game on 52% shooting and 36.7% from three. </strong>The future is clearly bright for him and he’s shown glimpses of great playmaking, but he’s quite raw and maybe the Warriors can’t afford to wait and develop him as their core continues to age.</p>

<p>Orlando Magic legend <strong>Penny Hardaway</strong> has big praise for <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Golden State Warriors</strong></a> rookie <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/2020-NBA-Draft-lottery-Top-5-prospects---20200820-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>James Wiseman</strong></a>, one of the best players of his class, expected to do big things in the NBA this season and the next ones.</p>
<p>Wiseman only played three games in college and he’s now trying to grow and improve his level in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a>, the highest level of basketball in the entire world. James is ready to make a big impact on the Dubs and he’s already drawing big comparisons from former players.</p>
<p>Hardaway is the latest name to join that list and he delivered a big message for Wiseman, comparing the young player to one of the greatest big men of all time, who happened to be teammates with the former guard.</p>

<h2>Penny Hardaway compares James Wiseman to Shaquille O’Neal</h2>
<p>Hardaway coached Wiseman in college. It was a very short-lived stint in Memphis but the coach had the chance to see one of the most exciting players of his class first hand. Penny explained that Wiseman could use Shaq as a model for his game, but making it clear that there is a big difference between them.</p>
<p><em>“No,” Hardaway said of the Warriors rookie, via Anthony Slater of The Athletic. “He doesn’t have the meanness that Shaq had all the time. Shaq had a chip. Shaq always had a plan. And Shaq always knew he was the best. James carries that chip now. But Shaq always knew he was the chosen one. Shaq came from a different path. He had a military base stepfather. That military background helped Shaq be tougher. James was raised with women. He had his mom and his sister. They kind of babied him and spoiled him, not in a bad way. They were firm. But it wasn’t the same.”</em></p>
<p>Wiseman is regarded as one of the most talented players of the 2020 NBA draft and he’s part of a team that can take his game to the next level. He has the tools and the desire to become a great player. Only time will tell what is his roof but this kid is ready to do big things.</p>

<p>There’s a lot of hype in the bay right now. The<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> </strong>used their highly-coveted second-overall pick to land <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/2020-NBA-Draft-lottery-Top-5-prospects---20200820-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>James Wiseman</strong></a> in the<strong> 2020 <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> Draft</strong>, and there are many reasons why he was considered the best prospect in his class just a couple of years ago.</p>
<p>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<strong> gifted athlete </strong>he is and just how much of a star most scouts believe he’ll turn into.</p>
<p>Notably, Warriors players and staff members have raved about Wiseman and what he can already bring to the table, yet his coach <strong>Steve Kerr </strong>wants to pull the brakes and let everybody know that they’ll go easy on him.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>Steve Kerr Compares James Wiseman With David Robinson</h2>
<p>So, when asked about Wiseman and how he’s looked during the first couple of team practices, Kerr compared him <strong>to a young David Robinson</strong> – which is a lot to say – and lauded his talent but admitted that there’s still plenty of work to do.</p>
<p><em>“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 (…) <strong>Picture David Robinson as a sophomore at Navy,</strong> that’s the guy you’re comparing him to. Not the All-Star with the Spurs,”</em> the coach said.</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-twitter" id="twitter-20">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Thought this was an interesting comparison from Kerr in regard to where Wiseman’s development is right now: “Picture David Robinson as a sophomore at Navy, that’s the guy you’re comparing him to. Not the All-Star with the Spurs.”</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>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, <strong>you know that you’re a special kind of talent.</strong></p>

Steve Kerr compares Warriors rookie James Wiseman with a Hall of Famer - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong>2020 <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> Draft</strong> is just around the corner but for the first time ever, it seems like there’s no true consensus about the top-5, as the NCAA tourney was canceled and there’s a lot of uncertainty about the prospects.</p>
<p>But one of the few players whose name has alwaysbeen mentioned as a top-5 pick is <strong>James Wiseman. </strong>The big man had to drop out of the<strong> University of Memphis </strong>after a suspension and his <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/2020-nba-draft-lamelo-ball-drawing-polarizing-opinions-around-nba-teams-20201022-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>draft stock</strong></a> took a major hit, but he was the consensus best prospect in the nation before the <strong>NCAA Season.</strong></p>
<p>Wiseman is an athletic freak with the physical tools to become a dominant rim-protector, and even thoughthere are concerns regarding his fit in a modern-day offense, his former coach <strong>Penny Hardaway </strong>believes that he’ll be a superstar.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<h2>Penny Hardaway Compares James Wiseman To Chris Bosh</h2>
<p>In fact, the <strong>Orlando Magic</strong> legend went as far as to compare him with<strong> Chris Bosh,</strong> which was an odd comparison considering that Bosh was a reliable three-point shooter, while Wiseman rarely steps away from the restricted area:</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/08/20/noticia_0005.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-73">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p><em>“<strong>Parts of his game remind me of Chris Bosh.</strong> I know that’s a stretch for a lot of people. But when I see him, the way he’s been able to work his way out to the 3-point line, there are similarities to Bosh. <strong>But he’s way more athletic</strong>,</em>” Hardaway said, as quoted by TalkBasket.net</p>
<h2>Penny Hardaway Encourages Golden State Warriors To Draft James Wiseman</h2>
<p>Moreover, Hardaway didn’t hesitate to sale the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> </strong>into taking James Wiseman with the 2nd overall pick, claiming that he’d be a perfect fit for their system because of <strong>his rim-running abilities:</strong></p>
<p><em>“He can easily keep up with the game and the pace. He’s very athletic, very fast. <strong>He’d instantly be one of the better rim runners in the league. He’s also a rim protector;</strong> he is going to protect the rim. His skill set is good enough now, and it’s going to get better, especially because he’d be playing with veterans like<strong> Draymond (Green), Klay (Thompson), and Steph (Curry)</strong>,”</em> Penny concluded.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/10/14/noticia_0017.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-73">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>No one knows for sure what the Warriors are going to do with their pick. They could trade it away for a bonafide star or take a risk on a prospect, but there’s no denying that Wiseman <strong>offers an intriguing upside.</strong></p>

<p>We’ve seen countless hours of prospects footage over the past couple of years. But this year’s atypical season took a toll on plenty of the prospects’ chances to showcase their abilities, as <strong>the NCAA Tourney was canceled.</strong></p>
<p>Even so, <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> scouts are going to continue undergoing their thorough scouting of the young men that are bound to take the league for assault after the 2020 NBA Draft. <strong>But who are those top-5 prospects bound to become superstars?</strong></p>

<p><strong>College: </strong>International, Israel<br> <strong>Position: </strong>Small Forward<br> <strong>NBA Comparison: </strong>Toni Kukoc<br> <strong>Better Fit: </strong>Atlanta Hawks</p>
<p><strong>Deni Avdija’s</strong> draft stock has risen lately and for very good reasons. Like most <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/international-nba-players-taken-1st-overall-in-the-draft-20200805-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">European prospects</a>, Avdija has already plenty of experience under his belt and a well-developed basketball IQ. He knows how to get to his spots and his size (6’9”) allows him to play and guard multiple spots from the shooting guard to the power forward.</p>
<p>He’s got a well-roundgame and <strong>can do a little bit of everything on both ends of the floor.</strong> He’s a solid playmaker who knows how to pick apart opposing defenses in real-time and find the open guy every time out there and can create his own shot with ease.</p>
<p>On the downside, Avdija has a subpar athleticism and wingspan for his size. He also tends to struggle in the halfcourt and lacks the explosiveness you’d want out of an <strong>NBA-caliber scorer. </strong>He’d be a perfect complement for <strong>Trae Young</strong>and the <strong>Atlanta Hawks </strong>thanks to his ability to draw double teams and play on and off the ball.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>College: </strong>Dayton, Sophomore<br> <strong>Position:</strong> Power Forward<br> <strong>NBA Comparison:</strong> Kenyon Martin<br> <strong>Better Fit:</strong> Minnesota Timberwolves</p>
<p>No other prospect has risen through big boards like <strong>Obi Toppin</strong>, the human highlight. He came out of the blue to impress with his freakish athleticism, NBA-ready body, strength, and hops. He’s a never-ending source of energy that will finish through contact and dominate above the rim.</p>
<p>Toppin played some five in college and there isn’t a reason to think he couldn’t hold his own below the rim vs. NBA centers, although he gives up some size sitting at just 6’9”. He also <strong>excels out of the pick-and-roll and even showed glimpses of a promising post offense.</strong></p>
<p>Even so, Toppin needs to become a more consistent jump shooter if he wants to make it in today’s NBA. He <strong>lacks the range of modern power forwards</strong> and tends to struggle guarding quicker players. His intensity and grit would be much welcome with the <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves </strong>as he could take some pressure off of <strong>Karl-Anthony Towns.</strong></p>

<p><strong>College:</strong> Memphis, Freshman<br> <strong>Position: </strong>Center<br> <strong>NBA Comparison: </strong>DeAndre Jordan<br> <strong>Better Fit:</strong> Golden State Warriors</p>
<p><strong>James Wiseman </strong>was considered the consensus 1st-overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft before college hoops season started. He was suspended by the NCAA and he decided to sit out the remainder of the season and work out for the Draft, which is obviously a concern given the lack of footage.</p>
<p>Wiseman is as strong as they come. <strong>He’s an elite finisher and rebounder on both ends of the glass.</strong> He also has the size (7’1”), wingspan, athleticism,and muscle to dominate right away in the league, and proved to be incredibly efficient as a roll man. There’s no denying in Wiseman’s talents and potential to become one of the most disruptive defenders in the league.</p>
<p>However, he tends to overdo things as a rim protector and that often makes him fall for pump fakes and get into foul trouble. <strong>His offense is limited, </strong>to say the least, which may hurt any modern big man. Even so, he’d be perfect to anchor the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong>‘ defense down low, especially considering the fact that they usually play their centers around 20 minutes a night.</p>

<h2>2. LaMelo Ball</h2>

<p><strong>College: </strong>International, USA<br> <strong>Position: </strong>Point Guard / Shooting Guard<br> <strong>NBA Comparison: </strong>Jamal Crawford<br> <strong>Better Fit:</strong> New York Knicks</p>
<p>As talented as controversial and he is,<strong> LaMelo Ball </strong>may be the best prospect in this year’s class. He’s used to being in the spotlight and is the kind of player who will never back down or hesitate to take a big shot or make a risky play. Offensive-wise, this young man has the whole package.</p>
<p><strong>LaMelo has elite handles and shot-creating ability</strong>. He’s got an outstanding court vision and unlimited range as a shooter. He’s also got the size (6’8”) to play both guard spots and even some small forward, although he must bulk up if he doesn’t want to struggle at the NBA level.</p>
<p>On the downside, Ball’s shot selection is a huge concern. He wants to showcase his skills on every play, especially in isolation, which <strong>makes him prone to making avoidable mistakes.</strong> There are also serious concerns about whether he’ll ever be an average defender but he’s still too talented to overlook. <strong>The New York Knicks</strong> have been looking for a franchise player and starting point guard for years and LaMelo might as well be it, as long as they pair him with Frank Ntilikina’s defensive grittiness in the backcourt.</p>
<h2>1. Anthony Edwards</h2>

<p><strong>College: </strong>Georgia, Freshman<br> <strong>Position: </strong>Shooting Guard<br> <strong>NBA Comparison: </strong>Dwyane Wade<br> <strong>Better Fit: </strong>Cleveland Cavaliers</p>
<p><strong>Anthony Edwards</strong> sits atop of most mock drafts right now. Most people see him as the consensus 1st-overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft after watching him dominate and steal most of the headlines during his lone season at Georgia.</p>
<p>Edwards is an impressive athlete that can play both guard spots. <strong>He’s got an NBA-ready body and a competitive mindset </strong>that certainly impressed most scouts, as well as his ability to post up and bully opposing players when driving through the lane. He’s also got an impressive basketball IQ, especially when double-teamed, and is a willing passer and solid shot-blocker and rebounder for his position.</p>
<p>Honestly, Edward’s game doesn’t have many flaws. <strong>He does have to work on his free-throw shooting</strong> (shot less than 60% from the stripe) and should know how to make the most of his athletic traits to dominate inside the paint instead of constantly pulling up. He’s almost a lock to join the Warriors if they land the 1st pick but he’d be the perfect guy to build around if you’re the <strong>Cleveland Cavaliers.</strong></p>
