Its crazy how little minutes Wiseman gets and just how disruptively awful the team plays in those minutes.

Because he can't play basketball at the NBA level.

Game is too fast for him, looks absolutely lost unless a vet is barking at him, and even then he probably doesn't even remember what was said and fukks up anyway.

Absolutely zero nose for the ball even though he has decent athleticism, stunting his ability to rebound. Doesn't have an iota of a post spin or dropstep, couldn't take advantage even if JJ Barea was guarding him.

Defensively he is 100% lost but offense I think is just a complete mismatch of styles that I don't will ever be corrected. He wants to set screens, roll to basket, and get post ups. In this system that will never work. He was just a bad pick and I think its on the team. There is a reason why GS has stayed clear of post up players. Its not in the DNA of the system. Every single time down court he throws his hands up and just parks on the lower block which just kills movement and almost forces the player with the ball to pass to him and he isn't competent enough to do anything with the ball so it just ends up bad. Its kind of sad watching him. I think if he ended up on a team with a C.P.3 style point guard things would look a lot different for him.

Speaking of CP3 I think he'd fine if he played like Ayton. Run, dunk, block shots, putbacks, alleyoops, only dumping down on the block on guard mismatches.

What they have to work on for him is finding ways for him to stay active on offense instead of clogging the lane. Bogut didn't shoot in this offense but he was extremely productive by setting a lot of off ball screens and making smart passes off of plays, so they gotta coach him up to do that

Turns out giving up 70 at halftime isn't a great strategy :manny:

Did great to get back in it & eventually get the lead. Nuggets just managing to always answer every time & then the lineup when SGA took his last break finally did them in.
