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.

Green talked about his teammate in an interview. According to Green, Wiseman is still unpolished but is still an amazing player to watch.

But to see what he’s able to do not having a clue … is very exciting.”
