James Wiseman Draws Start In First NBA Game Tuesday
4 years agoGolden State Warriors center James Wiseman will be tabbed as the team's starting center Tuesday against Brooklyn despite not having logged a minute of preseason action. The plan calls for Wiseman to play in spurts of minutes in the frontcourt, so it's unlikely that he receives a massive minutes allotment, but that shouldn't limit his upside too significantly. Wiseman's presence not only on the floor but among the starting five caps the fantasy intrigue of both Kevon Looney and Marquese Chriss, although both will likely see increased roles off the bench with Draymond Green (foot) unavailable. Wiseman has considerable hype around him after having been selected as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, and it appears that the Warriors are wasting no time entrenching him as a cornerstone for this season.
