In 2020, Wiseman went to play in the summer league, which is probably something that many people did not expect. After all, fellow champions Edwards and Tanhua Sanqiu were busy counting money this summer, and both signed contracts of up to $260 million for five years. Heading for their fourth season, they are already the core of their respective teams, but Wiseman is still playing in the summer league.
Of course, there is one thing to say, choosing to play in the summer league shows that Wiseman is still self-motivated, wants to improve, and wants to improve in the game. After all, in the past three seasons, Wiseman has actually played only 84 games in total, which is equivalent to the attendance of someone else's season in one season.
I just didn't expect that playing a summer league, Wiseman would also play like this.
Second-year players, such as Jabari Smith Jr., Sharp, Christie and others, have a dimensionality reduction strike in the summer league, but Wiseman can't play dominantly.
Wiseman currently plays 2 games in the summer league, and in the first game, the Pistons defeated the Magic, and Wiseman played well. The starter played 26 minutes, shooting 6-of-10, 1-of-3 from three-point range, 3-of-6 from the free-throw line, scoring 16 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, with a plus/minus of +20, a team-high plus/minus.
In the second game, the Pistons lost to the Rockets, and Wiseman was ravaged by the opposite sophomore Jabari Jr. and Ethan, including being hit by Jabari Jr. for a three-pointer, and the basket pulled to eat single, making it 2+1. So much so that Jabari Jr. taunted Wiseman in the audience after hitting a three-point shot: He can't prevent me! It can't be prevented at all!
Wiseman started 26 minutes and 29 seconds, shooting 7-of-17, 0-of-1 from three-point range, 3-of-5 from the free-throw line, and had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist, with a plus-minus of -18, the second-lowest on the team.
Last season, Wiseman had the most appearances, playing 21 games with the Warriors and 24 with the Pistons, accumulating 45 games. In the beginning, the Warriors still had hopes for Wiseman that he could play. But in the end, it turned out that Wiseman could not hold up, and was eventually sent to the Pistons in the middle of the season.
In the spirit of "scratching the blessing", the Pistons gave Wiseman a chance, 24 games, 22 starts, Wiseman averaged 25.2 minutes per game, averaged 12.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, and averaged less than 1 assists and blocks per game.
Wiseman is 2.13 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.29 meters, with excellent athleticism, explosive power and outstanding running and jumping ability. The Warriors chose Wiseman that year in the hope that he could support the team's interior, after all, the Warriors' interior dream is too short, Looney is only 2.06 meters, and his athleticism is average.
However, I didn't expect that after more than 3 seasons with the Warriors, Wiseman still hasn't learned to block it. Even though Looney, the team's blocker, often coached him, he still couldn't get Wiseman to learn to block and dismantle. Not to mention the offensive butter hand, the defense is always distracted, and it is especially easy to eat the opponent's shaking.
On the offensive end, Wiseman has poor blocking and cover quality, and strong desire to attack. On the defensive end, he has poor interior frame protection and can't support the Warriors' interior defense, and it's normal to be sent away.
In the Pistons' half season, the Pistons really gave a chance, but his blocking is still lonely, and the defense has not changed. Statistically, Wiseman averaged 12.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, which looks okay, but Wiseman is often the player with the lowest plus/minus on the team. The average plus-minus value is -8.6, the lowest in the team.
If you look at the statistics of last season, Wiseman's offensive efficiency was 105, outside the league's 300, and the center position was the second to last. Defensive efficiency is 121.3, also outside the league's 300, the center position is the bottom one.
Wiseman is next season in the final year of his rookie contract with a salary of $12.11 million, and has yet to get his next contract. If Wiseman still can't play next season, the Pistons may not give him another chance. After all, the Pistons also have young interior linemen to cultivate, such as Du.
If the Pistons don't give Wiseman a chance next summer, it's not known which team will give him a chance.
However, one thing is to say, for a team that is rotten and lacks an interior line, it is not bad to give Wiseman a chance to try, and it will not delay the rotten anyway. Besides, Wiseman in 2001 was still young, what if he suddenly woke up one day?
