The idea that James Wiseman is a bust is f'ing ridiculous
Here are 4 anonymized rookie year statistics. 3 players had full summer leagues, full training camps, and full NBA preseasons to prepare. 1 player had 1 semi-pro and 1 professional season in Europe. 1 player had a full year at Kentucky. 1 was straight out of high school. The 4th player is James Wiseman - Covid impacted training after 3 games at Memphis, no summer league, no training camp, no pre-season, and Covid impacted in-season training/practice routine.
See if you can guess which is which and who is who:
