NYRaider Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 6 minutes ago, DoleINGout said: I see more Robert Williams III than Joel Embiid in James Wiseman. Embiid, despite his injury history, is an all around center. Wiseman is so raw and young that it is premature to compare him to most top draft picks. Especially if he never plays in college again. Wiseman is the consensus top player in the draft for a reason. He's a unicorn level talent and you're comparing him to Robert Williams!? Williams was trash in college and is trash in the league. Wiseman looked like one of the best freshmen we've seen in the last decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recover physically to near 100% stabilization in the knee, yes. The mental aspect however is a separate journey as is developing the same elite consistency and confidence/trust in their yourself, not to mention the confidence of your teammates and coaches.

But like I said, Wiseman is 18, has no shot, is raw all around, and has less experience. Wiseman is a very athletic seven footer who people are enamored with and might not play much college ball. Gee, I think this has happened before. 🧐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the 50th time, Wiseman doesn't have to be an elite offensive player as a rookie. He's going to be an elite rebounder, shot blocker, and paint protector.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONO.😑 Nice try, but no. I’m not assuming anything, is what I’m doing. Unlike you. I think it will take time, as I told you. There is no guarantee that Klay and the Warriors team chemistry will return as soon as Klay is back on he court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said a more accurate comparison at this point is Williams in terms of completeness of skillset. I didn’t say anything about Williams being the preferred prospect. That’s all you chief.

And for the 51st time, that is all fine but it’s not enough to be one of the 3 or 4 favorites in 2020. A future with Wiseman is nice compared to if KD re-signed with his bum Achilles.

Again, laughable to call Williams a bum and trash. Indicative of how much you actually pay attention. Also, in light of how little you pay attention, the point of the comparison is clearly over your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
