Warriors' James Wiseman Seen as Top Breakout Candidate in NBA by Anonymous GM

At least one NBA executive believes Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman could be primed for a big 2022-23 season.

HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reported on the HoopsHype Podcast an anonymous NBA general manager named Wiseman as their top breakout candidate, saying, "We just saw the best of him in Japan. They'll feature him in ways that'll make his life easy."

Although he missed the entire 2021-22 season with a knee injury, Wiseman has looked great during the preseason, as he and the Warriors gear up for their regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.
