Question: Do you know which team James Wiseman is playing for now? Perhaps, everyone has some memory of Huaibao, which was once held in the palm of his hand by the Warriors management, because we really haven't seen him appear on the court for a long time. You should know that Wiseman was unanimously agreed by Warriors boss Jora Kob, general manager Bob Myers, and head coach Steve Cole that he would become an All-Star center in the future. But after leaving the Warriors, James Wiseman almost gave people the feeling that he was about to disappear in the NBA!

There is no doubt that James Wiseman is a major failure in Bob Myers' General Manager's career! Because Miles' mistakes made the Warriors wasted the hard-won 2020 second place. But at the beginning of the selection of James Wiseman, the Warriors were full of unlimited expectations for this seemingly talented big inside center! He was 2.13 meters tall, weighed 108 kg, and had an arm span of 2.26 meters. Wiseman, who was only 19 years old at the time, had the physical talent to become a top inside player. Therefore, Wiseman, who joined the Warriors, was highly expected, and he was even listed as a non-sale product for the team.

But everyone soon discovered that James Wiseman really just had a good body! He was not very good at playing basketball and had a weak sense of running. He could not truly appreciate the essence of Coach Cole's tactical skills. What's worse is that he was still very fragile and was always injured. Therefore, Wiseman naturally did not fulfill his talent and played the expected performance the Warriors wanted. Instead, he lie in the injury seat every now and then, and the 2021-22 season was completely reimbursed due to the meniscus injury on his right knee! But especially lucky, Wiseman, who was reimbursed for injury this season, won the NBA championship with the Warriors!

On February 10, 2023, the Warriors sent James Wiseman to the Detroit Pistons through a three-party transaction. At this point, Wiseman ended his three-year Warrior career! During this period, he only played a pitiful 60 regular season games for the Warriors. After leaving the Warriors, Wiseman gradually faded out of everyone's attention, and he was struggling with injuries again! Wiseman, who joined the Indiana Pacers last season, announced the season's reimbursement due to a serious injury to lacerate the Achilles tendon in the opening game.

Since James Wiseman only played 148 regular season games in his five-year NBA career, and the season was reimbursed due to injury last season's opening game, this gives people the illusion that he is no longer playing in the league! I have to say that although James Wiseman's career has not been smooth, his luck is indeed good. James Wiseman, who followed the Warriors to win the championship in 2022 and became a full free agent this summer, vacated an inside center position because Myers Turner ran away. In the end, the Pacers brought him back to Indiana with a two-year contract. Otherwise, James Wiseman is likely to have no ball to play now!

According to jersey reporter Etienne Catalan, James Wiseman will be changed from No. 13 to No. 11 jersey. It is worth mentioning that the Pacers' last one wearing the No. 11 jersey is Bruce Brown, who joined the Denver Nuggets this summer.

Congratulations to James Wiseman for successfully returning to the NBA! I hope you can be reborn in the Pacers in the new season and realize the talent that your second-place center should have. Otherwise, this is most likely your last season in the NBA! Come on, Huaibao!
