Our guy Poor Man’s Commish invited James Wiseman’s trainer, David Alexander, for a wide-ranging draft night conversation. Alexander is an elite NBA trainer who has helped LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Donovan Mitchell, and Chris Paul among others. He’s originally from the Bay Area and currently runs DBC Fitness in Miami.

In our interview, he touched on several topics including how he helped Wiseman reengineer his body, Klay Thompson/Kevin Durant’s leg injuries, and how his family nearly turned on him for working with LeBron during the Warriors-Cavaliers rivalry.

He also makes the bold statement that Wiseman will not only be Rookie of the Year and a Hall of Famer, but that he’ll also one day surpass studs like David Robinson and Anthony Davis! Lofty expectations that I’m sure Dub Nation would love to see happen.

We took some clips from that draft night chat for your viewing pleasure.

Loved this. I fully expect the man to be biased for JW given that he is his trainer and invested in his success. However, based on his credentials and resume it doesn't seem to be a person who is full of hot air. Overly optimistic or not, this experienced and respected trainer has high hopes and expectations for Wiseman. I'll take that as a good sign.

His comments about KD and Klay's injuries are very interesting. Sounds like something the Warriors actually need to look at and fix.
