More on this storyline
But perhaps the biggest story of their preseason trip was the quiet return of the Warriors’ 21-year-old 7-foot-3 center, a man already more maligned for what and who he isn’t than what he still could be. Back in the arena, as Wiseman gets closer and closer to the bus, he can’t stop talking about what he had just accomplished: He had played in his first NBA game in a year and a half. He scored 20 points — 10 of them on dunks, one of which was over Kristaps Porzingis. “I finally caught a body,” he says, his smile widening. It was 18 months in the making. -via ESPN / October 11, 2022
His comfort level shows in knowing where he needs to be on the court, understanding spacing and not overcomplicating his game. That’s the key for Wiseman to have a successful season, Kerr and Milojevic say. But they also know he will make mistakes. Wiseman knows that, too. “The lesson is patience,” Kerr says. “And patience has to come in the midst of a profession where there’s very little allowed by fans and media. You have to ignore the noise and help the player through the noise. What a novel concept — the combination of patience and work ethic.” -via ESPN / October 11, 2022
