no way would wilt or shaq ever be shooting a 3, in any era…

don’t remember kareem’s jump shot, any chance he would have been good from behind the arc?

Wiseman was not good in this game. In fact, he stunk. But I said it during preseason, and believe it to be true: if Wiseman is going to succeed, it is going to take him a while to get up to game speed. You can see some raw talent, you can see the size and athleticism, but you can also see that everything moves way too fast for him. Wiseman still has good wheels for his size even after his injuries, and he has the great standing reach, but unfortunately just cannot seem to be in the right place at the right time on defense. I felt genuinely anxious for him watching him play in this game.

But maybe they are indeed seeing something interesting in practice, maybe he’s making some baby steps. It didn’t translate in this game, but maybe Brown feels like he can develop Wiseman. Obviously this is not a real vote of confidence in our boy Drum, but I’m at least somewhat intrigued. This is not a Jericho Sims/Hukporti type that was drafted in the 50’s. I’ll take it as a positive sign that Brown liked what he saw in practice enough to give Wiseman some minutes, even if it didn’t work out in the actual game.

may be we can all tie some yellow ribbons all over the place ’til our team returns…to winning…
