James Wiseman's hard work, patience starting to pay off with Detroit Pistons

Only two Detroit Pistons logged fewer minutes than James Wiseman during the team’s 17-point blowout of the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. But Wiseman managed to produce the loudest cheers of the night — not just from the home crowd, but from his teammates as well.

Detroit’s entire bench jumped to its feet when, early in the fourth quarter, Wiseman drove left from the top of the key before euro-stepping right past Nick Richards and finishing a one-handed dunk over the opposing big.

It kicked off a dunk party, as Wiseman had two more flushes — an alley-oop from Marcus Sasser and a dump-off from Evan Fournier — before checking out for good.
