Golden State Warriors big man James Wiseman is set to join the Indiana Pacers on a two-year contract, as per reports. The 23-year-old former first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft will look to start fresh and develop his skills with a new team that reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season.
Despite missing the 2021-22 season due to injury and failing to make an impact in his time with the Warriors and Detroit Pistons, Wiseman still has time to grow and succeed in the NBA. With Indiana’s talented coach Rick Carlisle by his side, Wiseman has the potential to become a key player for the team as a lob threat.
The move to Indiana presents Wiseman with a new opportunity to reach his full potential and contribute to the team’s success. While it is unlikely that staying in Golden State would have changed his current trajectory, this new opportunity with the Pacers could help him find his place in the league and make an impact on the court.
