Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
Wiseman may or may not meet his potential. It feels like he probably won’t do it in Golden State.
After all, his career has been off to a rough start. Perhaps that owes to the Warriors’ “two timelines” approach. Developing young, raw talent is difficult to prioritize when you’re trying to win an NBA championship.
Luckily, Bamba is still young. He fits the timeline of this team’s young core. At the same time, he’s also able to contribute more than Wiseman alongside the veterans.
Sure, Bamba’s had a hard time meeting his potential too. He still spaces the floor and defends the rim better than Wiseman.
