About James Wiseman in brief
James Wiseman is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association. He played college basketball for the Memphis Tigers. He was drafted with the second overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft. Wiseman was a consensus five-star recruit out of high school and considered the top recruit in the 2019 class by 247Sports and ESPN. He claimed multiple national player of the year awards and played in the McDonald’s All-American Game after his final season. In October 2019, after Wiseman had moved on to the University of Memphis, the original ruling of ineligibility for the 2017–18 season was upheld by a Memphis judge, who ruled that the TSSAA coaching link rule was not too vague and did not violate Wiseman’s property rights.
He missed his team’s preseason games in October after sustaining an ankle injury. On November 5, Wiseman made his regular season debut in Nassau, Bahamas. He recorded a triple-double of 27 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 blocks to help his team win the Region 8AAA championship. In August 2019, a minor shoulder injury kept Wiseman from joining Memphis for a series of preseason games. He made his debut in October with 22 points, three blocks, and three blocks in the series against Nassau. In November 2019, he signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball for Memphis.
