Don't add James Wiseman to the pile of Warriors despair just yet

Let’s get this out of the way: Since joining the Pistons at the trade deadline, James Wiseman has gone from a player who couldn’t buy his way into a rotation to a solid big man who’s nearly averaging a double-double per game.

Those are seemingly points and rebounds the Warriors could desperately use right now. But don't call the Wiseman trade a disaster just yet.

The former No. 2 overall pick had a team-high 22 points and 13 rebounds Sunday against Miami, though the more telling stat might be that the Heat won 112-100. Wiseman also appears to have taken a few habits from his old team with him.
