It’s becoming a common theme for the Golden State Warriors. With each game James Wiseman plays, the 2020 No. 2 overall draft pick adds another eye-popping moment to his rookie season highlight tape.
Eleven games into his first season with the Warriors, Wiseman has caught lobs, pushed coast-to-coast fastbreaks and hit 3-pointers. On Thursday, Wiseman had the opportunity to suit up against one of the top centers in the NBA. Thursday night’s contest had Wiseman lining up across from Denver’s Nikola Jokic.
Although it wasn’t on the two-time All-Star big man, Wiseman added a fierce dunk to his highlight catalog. In the third quarter, the Memphis product spiked a fierce one-handed dunk past Denver’s Bol Bol.
