For those who are down on Wiseman I want you to go take a look at what Kevin Garnett looked like as a rookie through his first 13 games.

Kevin Garnett 1995-96 Game Log | Basketball-Reference.com

For those who too lazy:

6.5 ppg
3.8 rpg
1.2 bpg

21 mpg
nikkas bringing up box score stats to compare KG and Wiseman....

:picard:
It's almost like I'm comparing two 19 yr old high school players with similar measurables:picard:

:camby:
They're not even remotely comparable.

Don't try it.

KG was one of the most advanced [rookie] bigs to step foot on an NBA court, in history.

Impeccable touch/hands, equally adept at facing and posting up, outstanding rebounding awareness, able to defend down low and out on the perimeter in equal measure, great feel for the game, smart playmaker, and just a high BBIQ on both ends of the floor. There was no doubt that he would turn into a star. Apart from a few athletic plays, Wiseman hasn't shown a cotdamn thing. He looks like the exact opposite as KG did as a rookie. I know y'all cats have high expectations for Wiseman, but slow your roll on that, cause he ain't fukking with KG (at the same stage), in any shape or form.

The Golden State Warriors could soon get James Wiseman back in game action for the first time in nearly a year. Wiseman is officially listed as day-to-day and traveled with the team on its current road trip.

One coach of the Warriors told ESPN's Kendra Andrews that it is highly unlikely that Wiseman will be a big part of their rotation, particularly in the playoffs.

The Warriors would like to plug Wiseman into specific situations, but don't believe he'll be ready to take a bigger role right away. The Warriors hope Wiseman returns this season in order to be ready for next season.

Not even in the rotation :heh:
