People seem to have given up on or forgotten about 2020's second overall pick
After making his 2022 Summer League debut, James Wiseman got a delectable taste of the Golden State Warriors' unique version of the old "good cop-bad cop" routine. Wiseman, who hasn't played in an NBA game in over 15 months due, put up 11 points and two blocks in Las Vegas, his first action since a three-game G League stint in March that ended with knee swelling that shut him down for the rest of the season.
A pretty good return, except for one not-so-tiny problem.
Wiseman, who is listed at 7-foot, 240 pounds and looked to have added even more lean muscle since the last time we saw him, pulled down just two rebounds in the game. Afterward, he heard from two of the most prominent voices in the Warriors locker room, but he received two very different messages.
