Former Memphis center James Wiseman described his turbulent fall with the Tigers like being "really in the middle of a hurricane."
In his first public interview—a conversation with ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski—the potential top-3 pick in the 2020 NBA draft addressed his departure from the Tigers and his NBA future.
"That's like the worst place you could possibly be," Wiseman said. "Just having the mental agony and the suffering, crying every night because I just wanted to get on the court so much."
On Dec. 19, Wiseman announced that he had left the University of Memphis and was turning his attention to the NBA.
