The journey to the NBA and thereafter has been a rollercoaster ride for Golden State Warriors rookie James Wisemen. With the trading season heading near, Wisemen’s futrure with the dubs seems uuncertain.

The Warriors are going through an injury-ridden time since two seasons. Their star player Klay Thompson was benched with ACL injury in 2019, and hasn’t been in action ever since. However, Stephen Curry pulled up a young team this season and led with a staggering example. He averaged 32 points to carry GSW close to the Playoff season. Unfortunately, Los Angeles Lakers ended their run during the Play-in blockbuster.

James Wiseman was drafted by the Golden State as the second-overall pick last summer. The 20-YO finished his rookie season without much room for discussion on how it unfolded. It was a season of ups and downs for Wiseman which puts him right in the trading scanner.
