I want to call him the “Big Supplanter”. Just kind of rolls off the tongue…

Can’t wait to see Wise grow this season. The strides he made in such little time before his injury were really impressive.

I really believe rate of learning and retention of new information is so key in becoming a success. I think JW has demonstrated he can do both those things well. God speed JW

Loooove this!

Wiseman is such an interesting player. I know he had a rough rookie season (on a lot of levels), but his flashes of excellence showed just often enough for even my cold dead skeptical heart to get excited.

Sort of on topic: I had half-forgotten about David Thorpe’s theory that 2020 was a “one player draft”….

What’s remarkable to me is not just the assertion but the detailed scouting with which he builds the case. I think there’s about 98% chance he’s wrong (not that Wiseman will be a good player, but that he’ll be soooo good as to be head and shoulders above anyone in his draft class). But that 2% is pretty exciting…
