Detroit — Pistons coach Dwane Casey praised James Wiseman’s athleticism and rebounding ability before Sunday’s game against the Miami Heat, lauding his ability to run the floor and deter shots.
“He’s athletic as heck," Casey said. "He runs the floor and rebounds in his space. He knows how to use his length to deter shots around the rim. He has a good feeling with the ball…There are some things that seep out of his game every now and then that surprise you.”
Wiseman showcased several of those skills in the second half as he scored 18 of his team-high 22 points, but it wasn't enough to hold off the Heat.
