The Golden State Warriors have not been looking like a championship contender in the opening two games. But they do have a bright spot in their rookie James Wiseman. Wiseman was touted as one of the best prospects from this class, and so far he has proved his worth.

In the absence of their established superstars, such as Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, James Wiseman could very well be their second scoring option this season. In their Christmas Day matchup vs the Bucks, Wiseman nearly recorded a double-double. Furthermore, he was quite efficient, shooting 75% from the 3-pt line.

Draymond Green praises James Wiseman

Green talked about his teammate in an interview. According to Green, Wiseman is still unpolished but is still an amazing player to watch. He said, “The fun part is he don’t have a f**king clue about what he’s actually doing. He don’t even know the basics. That is exciting because he’s gonna learn those basics. But to see what he’s able to do not having a clue … is very exciting.”

Wiseman, with his towering stature, has a chance to one day become one of the best big men in the league. However, for that to become a reality, the 19-year-old would need to learn from his teammates.

Draymond Green in particular is a phenomenal defender who can be a mentor for Wiseman. The former DPOY is known for his defensive prowess and was one of the key players during the Warriors’ championship runs.

Should the Golden State Warriors be worried?

The Warriors have had a bad start to their season, but there is still some time for them to improve. They have gone through some major roster changes and have also been facing injury troubles at the beginning of the season.

Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre Jr.’s poor form is something the team needs to worry about. To look at the bright side, Steph Curry should be back in rhythm in the next few games. However, the Warriors do need to build the team chemistry, if they want to make a deep playoff run. There is no other way around that.
