After losing the finals against the Toronto Raptors, the Golden State Warriors failed to make the playoffs in the next season as Stephen Curry only played 6 games due to injury. At the height of their struggles at the beginning of the decade, the Warriors drafted the 7’1” center, James Wiseman. The Warriors drafted him as the second overall pick hoping to change their fortunes at the center position.
However, Wiseman has yet to live up to the sky-high expectations set by Dubs fans at the start of his career. But as per recent updates, he will have to prove his worth elsewhere.

Despite only playing 3 games for the University of Memphis, James Wiseman found himself playing for the Golden State Warriors. The All-American center was set to be a franchise player at the center position. But after three lackluster seasons, Wiseman will have to prove his worth to get back in the rotations. After the blowout win last night, coach Steve Kerr announced Wiseman’s departure to the G-league.
The Stephen Curry-led Warriors faced off against the San Antonio Spurs last night. After an underwhelming start to the season, the defending champions were down in the mud with a disappointing record of 5-8. However, the Warriors showed a glimpse of their championship form last night.
