According to Basketball Reference, the most amount of games GP2 has played in a single NBA season before this season was 29 during the 2019-2020 season, averaging 14.9 minutes per game. This season, he has played 60 games and has averaged 17.1 minutes per game, the highest in his career.
Overall, I'd say Wiseman (unsurprisingly?) looks like his rookie year self, both positively and negatively.
I think the main key for Wiseman to get minutes at the NBA level is to understand he's a role player. Only take good shots and don't be forcing shots that would otherwise go to Curry, Klay, Poole, etc.
Then as long as he has effort and energy on defense, the coaching staff can probably live with that.
Still that weird two-hand contest thing that Wiseman does which seems to often get him out of position for rebounds. (Though he's got 8 rebs in 9 minutes so far)
Is that something the coaches have been emphasizing? I know Athletic Alchemy thinks the coaches are trying to get him to defend like Looney, except Wiseman is like the polar opposite of Looney.

GP2 out going on two weeks. I’d love to understand what’s wrong.
The best part of this PHX LAL game is this puppy race they are trying to run during half time
Have they said how many g league games Wiseman is going to play?

Definitely some positives, but dude looks like he would really benefit from a full season in the g league

Anyone outside the bay find a stream of the game?
That Steph bday bobblehead has 80% more hair than it needs hah
I think he looks pretty damn good for his 2nd game in a year. He's clearly the most dominant athlete on the floor. Everything else is reps.
Wiseman with a well timed contest/block.
Wisemans hands yikes man. Everything aside from that is of no concern to me one way or the other.
I keep thinking the SeaDubs are playing like crap but then I look at the score and they're always up lol

JW's hands still a work in progress - stripped then bobbled in two straight breaks.
