During the Golden State Warriors ’39-point loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Christmas Day, James Wiseman was a clear one-man spot for the second game in a row.
After scoring 19 points in his first professional game on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets, the 2020 No. 2 overall pick picked up victory again against the Bucks.
With exciting performances back on Wiseman ‘s resume, the league is starting to take notice. After Memphis ’lead scored 14 points on a 4-of-5 shooting from the field with two three-pointers, four rebounds and two blocks in 12 minutes, Donovan Mitchell noted.
At half-time of a Christmas day tilt between the Warriors and Bucks, the Utah Jazz All-Star guard shared a tweet saying Wiseman was “sorry.”
Via @spidadmitchell on Twitter:
Wiseman finished the game with 18 points on a 5-of-11 shot from the field with eight rebounds and three blocks in 25 minutes. For the second game in a row, the 19-year-old showed his ability to step out from outside the arc, hitting three points-3 on four attempts.
Mitchell won’t have to wait long to see the talented rookie in action. The Warriors travel to Utah for a tilt against the Jazz on Jan. 23 at 2pm PST.
