Wiseman's return from injury is one of the Warriors' most anticipated things this season. But like the Pelicans' Zion, his comeback debut has been delayed and has not yet made a comeback. While Wiseman's talent and potential are pretty good, it's clearly unrealistic to expect a young man who has only played 39 games to become an important part of the Warriors' title race.
A Warriors coaching staff member told ESPN reporter Kendra Andrews that Wiseman is unlikely to be an important part of the Warriors' rotation, especially in the playoffs. The Warriors had a specific arrangement for Wiseman, but not immediately letting him take on a significant role. Compared to this season, the Warriors are looking forward to his performance next season.
At this stage, the Warriors are seriously understaffed in the frontcourt. In the case of Dream Green's injury, Looney is the only reliable big player in the team. Players like Bjelica and Juan Toscano Anderson, who also struggle to help the Warriors much in the playoffs.
At first, many Warriors fans expected Wiseman to return from injury to the Savior. However, Wiseman is only 20 years old, he has only played 39 NBA games, and he has not fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA. When the spotlight is all focused on him, it's hard to expect him to deliver quality on-court performances in the playoffs.
