The Washington Wizards are 2-7, and the rebuild is in full swing. It’s time to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks by taking a flyer on a young player failing to live up to expectations.
Enter James Wiseman. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick has logged only 88 appearances through four career seasons so far for the Warriors and Pistons. It’s hard to read too much into his career stats of 10.4 points per game on 53.7% shooting when he plays so sporadically, but for a Wizards team with little to lose (other than games), a formerly highly-touted prospect is well worth the experiment.
