Welcome back to the jump.
-
I am joined by David Fizdale, Robert Ory and Marc Spears, and that was a clip from James Wiseman's video diary diary with Mark and the Undefeated.
-
So, Mark, do you think Wiseman is living up to expectations so far for the Warriors?
-
Oh, most definitely.
-
Certainly.
-
These expectations are very, very high.
-
You know, I interviewed him two years ago.
-
He's most impressive high school kid I've ever talked to.
-
He speaks Mandarin.
-
Uh, hey, want therapist?
-
He wants to own fast food restaurants, and he has game.
-
I saw that the Hoop Summit practices that he was special.
-
Before the draft, there was one Scout told me that he was gonna be a combination of David Robinson and Chris Pot for high praise.
-
Which gonna probably be, Ah, Hall of Famer.
-
And so far, so good.
-
He seems to be getting better with every game.
-
Uhh!
-
Draymond Green is in his ear and he's listening, and he's an interesting wraps, and he's got his F 150 coming to San Francisco soon to drive around instead of a Ferrari.
-
Hey, can't fit in the Ferrari.
-
Think about when you talk about Wiseman always wanna talk about expectations.
-
You know what is the team's expectation?
-
What his curves expectations?
-
Because he needs to go out and then just play his game.
-
He's playing with three.
-
Well, one is out, but three dynamic players who've got rings who got All Star appearances.
-
So he just needs to sit back and learn.
-
I love the fact that he's going on still doing his thing, because one of my favorite things is Vernon Maxwell.
-
You always used to tell me about you.
-
Do what you do, do what got you here and that's what he's doing.
-
He's just going out and playing his game, not trying to be this guy, that guy just being himself and doing what comes naturally.
-
He's always like they show here with Draymond.
-
He's always going to Draymond because why Draymond is a defensive player, he knows the game.
-
He's one of the best of getting people involved, So why was learning from the best?
-
These kids grow fast when they're surrounded with a bunch of talent like no pressure is on him at all.
-
And I think I was on the show probably three weeks ago and we were talking about when Clay went down at the Warriors was done.
-
Ah, lot of people were writing them off.
-
And a big reason why the Warriors are in the playoff conversation is because this kid right here and this kid's gonna keep moving faster.
-
He's bringing the ball up.
-
He's crossing over guards.
-
He's finishing with either hand.
-
I watch one game.
-
He's shooting threes.
-
Uh, he is dynamic.
-
You add that to the mix of what Golden State does and the championship pedigree.
-
Like you, said Draymond player, defensive player of the year Steph MVP.
-
He's learning from the best.
