James Wiseman’s tumultuous career at the Golden State Warriors came to an end on February 9, traded to the Detroit Pistons in a multi-team deal that saw the franchise bring back Gary Payton II.
After a season that promised so much, Wiseman’s time at the Warriors ended with little impact. There was plenty of optimism after some promising signs in Golden State’s preseason games against the Washington Wizards in Japan, but it quickly became apparent that he wasn’t going to develop into an effective, winning player in the timespan the franchise needed.
