Piggybacking off your post. This whole thing is a must listen.

I loved these two quotes:

Uh, no one.

I dont live outside, I'll be alright.


This interview makes me love this kid.

Anyone else watching Wiseman ball out on ABC?

He's playing very well. Still loving the Edwards pick. I think Wiseman floor is really high. He is scoring off other people's action in this game what is solid

I cannot access it right now. How is he doing?

Pretty much the only good thing going for the Warriors. 17 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 3/4 on threes in 23 minutes at the time of this comment. Showed off the perimeter game and rim protection. Clearly has some ways to go defending NBA pick-and-rolls and finishing over NBA length will come over time. He was matched up with Giannis a good bit throughout this game. He's a very good young player already.

Yeah, Wiseman was very impressive today. He runs the court very well and showed a really nice 3-point stroke. He looked lost on defense often, but that's to be expected in a 19-year-old rookie. I really like the potential of the top two draft picks in the draft.

I just hope Ant shows out now. Still pissed, but will always root.

Oh, Ant showed out in his first game just fine... better than Wiseman in his first game, although I thought James was really good yesterday against the Bucks. I watched all of Ant's first game and Wiseman's second, and Edwards looked far ahead of Wiseman on the defensive end- he says the guy he admires most in the NBA is Butler, and he does seem to have some of the same defensive "dog" in him. Wiseman also worked hard on D yesterday, but he often seemed confused and in the wrong place- I do think he's going to be very good on defense though. The only defensive metric I've seen so far is on basketball-reference, and Edward's defensive rating kicked Wiseman's butt (I suspect some of you may not like this metric, but it's the only one I can find- and it matched by eye test).

It's way early, but I'm excited about both these guys. The experts weren't very enthusiastic about the top of the 2020 draft, but I think Edwards/Wiseman may prove them wrong.

Way too early to tell with these guys. Both have done enough in the early going to justify excitement. Wiseman's accuracy beyond the arc though makes me a little sick to my stomach. Can you imagine having a guy with that length playing next to KAT and still being able to maintain Rosas' coveted "spacing trumps everything" philosophy?
