CHARLOTTE, N.C. — What the NBA knows about center James Wiseman is intriguing. But there isn't much of a resume.
Wiseman played just three college games for Memphis before withdrawing from school. That means he hasn't played organized basketball in nearly a year heading into Wednesday's NBA draft.
His potential appears huge as his dimensions: A 7-footer with a reported 7-foot-4 wingspan. Wiseman could no doubt address areas of great need for the Hornets, particularly rebounding and rim-protection.
But is he their best option in a league evolving away from traditional centers? Is he worth trading up from No. 3 to assure the Hornets get him?
