James Wiseman has been ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the 2019 class off and on for the last two years. His athleticism and shot-making ability resting on his 6’11” frame has been hard to miss.

But, Matt Norlander of CBS was not very impressed with Wiseman at the Peach Jam over the weekend.

Wiseman certainly did not have a great tournament, statistically. He averaged 16 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game as his Bluff City Legends team was eliminated during pool play. Even more than his numbers, Norlander was disappointed in Wiseman’s performance in 1-on-1 matchups.
