He has the tools like WCS...can the Mavs get him to utilize those tools in a reasonable time line? His shot is uncoordinated, imo...ive seen him put up numerous layups like the ones people joke about that Dwight Powell puts up. In 2021...2nd overall picks shouldnt be uncoordinated shot wise. How hard is NBA defense to learn? I really dont know...is learning rotations and being in the right position a multiple year learning process? Or can you get Wiseman to be really disruptive in a year on defense? Again...I really dont know. Wiseman just seems like a long term project. I get that he would be on a rookie deal(lottery) and I get that his measurable and quickness look good....but that feel for the game. I think the kid can be really good...its just how long will it take and does he have the drive to mold himself into that player?
I'm pretty bearish on Wiseman for this team. I don't even have strong opinions on Wiseman, but I think the thing you're going to end up with on Wiseman is he is going to run through the end of his rookie contract still as raw as hamburger meat and you're going to be forced to pay him his max before you're even sure what he is, and you very likely end up paying a max for Kwame Brown or Bismack Biyombo. Trading him for KP is just running around in circles as a franchise and wasting 2-3 years of Luka under contract, especially if your'e taking on trash like Oubre to make the salaries match .. who I've never understood the love for. I can't tell you how much Mavs fans would grow to hate Oubre if he actually played for this team and they had to watch him every night.
