Probably the biggest bust of the 2020s.

Wiseman was a roll of the dice during Covid. Expectations weren't that high.

Some contrarian mfs were saying Scoot was a more sure thing than Wemby :heh:
Wiseman a bigger bust because it basically closed the window on the Warriors era, they threw away a #2 pick that the coach/GM didn't even want to draft, the owner pushed that Wiseman shyt on them.

He's not a good player, but that year's NBA draft wasn't that great. Wemby and Miller were selected before him who are obviously better players...but then look at the rest of guys outside of top 3:

Thompson brothers - both are better players

but the rest of them guys? In kind of a same tier as Henderson.


So I am not sure we can even call him a bonafide draft bust. You are supposed to have several guys drafted below you to do significantly better than you to be considered a bust.

Injuries have really derailed his career so I dunno his long term future in Portland. Dame will be back next year and they've had success running Avidja at point as well.

too early to call him a bust. he's shown flashes and worst case, he can be a lockdown type. i doubt his shooting improves tho.

rob dillingham is a bust

He’s still in the league but let’s see for how long. He was putting decent numbers when he returned. Blazers are a stacked team going forward he might eventually get released if he doesn’t deliver.

the other thing with him is even when healthy his athleticism doesn't look anything close to what it was hyped up to be pre-draft

I'm pretty sure when this thread was made I had never seen him play :pachaha: I just know to always bet against the archetype
