Unfortunately motivation can’t help him get healthy. We’ll see tho
Brehs im starting to think Wiseman will be a bust
- Thread starter The Great One
- Start date
It’s extraordinary. These guys had the #1 pick three years ago, drafted a complete non factor and still won it all. Other franchises would have been setback a decade.
still went on to have decent career
Looks good to me 
Wiseman was 2nd
Back to back consecutive good games bro, just being a high screen roller and clean up man..Anyone is gonna look good against the T'Blazers.
He was actually #2. Pistons did the exact same thing when they drafted Darko #2. Or the Cavs when they drafted Anthony Bennett #1.
The Warriors got away with paying a generational MVP player just $15 million/year so they could then sign a second generational MVP into the cap space left by their 5th best player leaving. Everything after that is playing with house money, getting another #2 pick on TOP of that pile of talent they had is just silly.
I don’t think he’ll be a bust. Lowkey there’s like two generations of Warriors players and some of the younger generation is still figuring things out. Not to mention, bugs take a little longer to develop.
Still, it would’ve been insane if they drafted LaMelo. That offense would’ve been virtuoso which is saying something

You gotta admit his awareness, movement, screening, finishing touch.. look much improved. And the fact is, he has time to develop as the true backup center.
Steph, when he got that extension coming off the ankle injuries
I wish it was Wiseman who punched Poole. I had a dope thread title and everything.

I actually overstated, Steph was earning just $11 million/year in 2015 and 2016. He had signed for 4 years / $44 million in 2012 because he was coming off ankle injuries in back-to-back seasons and hadn't made the leap yet.
The huge leap in salary cap (Lebron stimulus), the fact that Draymond/Klay were both young late bloomers who weren't on big contracts yet, and the fact that Steph had that tiny-ass contract is the combination of factors that allowed a 73-win tem to sign another MVP straight up. If Steph had had a reasonable star contract, Warriors never would have been able to sign KD, so their 2017-2019 runs don't happen like that. And then they flipped KD for Wiggins and Kuminga, which allowed them to win again in 2022. Again, if Steph had had normal contracts and KD doesn't get signed, their maxed-out salary cap never would have enabled them to pick up that sort of value.
