He's got potential to be a star, but all GS wants from it's bigs is not much more than what the Mav's used to ask Powell to do. They talk about Wiseman's thirst to score (he's not a passive big at all). Kerr moved him to the bench in January at least partially to let him be more of a focal point when he's in the game.
"Meanwhile, James Wiseman has this incredible talent at an uncommon size. He wants to show it off and frequently does. Right now, per 36 minutes, Wiseman is averaging 21.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks on 51/41/64 shooting. The main reason we’re citing “per 36 minutes” here is because this impressive individual stat line has not exactly corresponded to the level of team success that ensures the minutes load of a starter."

It's weird to say after last night given how much we attempted to post KP, but I'm not sure Wiseman would be any better of a fit in Carlisle system given his rant last year about posting up being a low value play in the modern NBA. Granted the front office, analytics team and coaching staff often seem to be on different pages, but I'd question the Mavs desire for Wiseman.
