James Wiseman Stats

Detroit Pistons center James Wiseman ruled the paint versus Orlando on Saturday, notching 16 points and 12 rebounds in an 89-78 victory. He also swatted away two shots while shooting 6-for-10 from the field with a 1-for-3 effort from outside. Wiseman is looking to rebuild his reputation as a second-overall pick and he had a good spell with the Pistons last season, logging 12.7 points and 8.1 rebounds after arriving from Golden State. The Summer League offers him an opportunity to rebuild further confidence.

According to James Edwards III of The Athletic, center James Wiseman is a candidate to get moved this summer. The 22-year-old, taken No. 2 overall in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Warriors, spent most of his time in Golden State on the shelf because of a knee injury. He was traded to Detroit ahead of last season's deadline and was relatively productive, averaging career-highs in points (12.7) and rebounds (8.1). However, Wiseman is currently buried on the team's depth chart, with Jalen Duren and Marvin Bagley III ahead. But the former Memphis Tiger may benefit from a change of scenery, especially if it opens the door for more playing time. Dynasty managers should hold on to him for now, considering his value can't go anywhere but up moving forward.

Detroit Pistons center James Wiseman (knee) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the visiting Portland Trail Blazers. The former Warrior is in danger of joining Isaiah Stewart (hip), Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), and Jalen Duren (ankle) on the shelf for this one, so Detroit could be even more shorthanded. As a result, Marvin Bagley III, who had 20 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks in Saturday's loss to Cleveland, is expected to remain in the starting lineup. Without question, Bagley will be a popular fantasy option, with Isaiah Livers in line to see extra work. Livers had seven points, four boards, and a steal on Saturday, so he'll at least offer something for fantasy managers in deeper setups.

Detroit Pistons center James Wiseman nearly had a perfect performance from the field while racking up 23 points in Monday's 117-106 loss to the Hornets. He made his lone attempt from deep and shot 9-for-11 overall with a 4-for-6 effort at the foul line. Across 27 minutes of action, Wiseman was also able to grab seven rebounds. The former Warrior has averaged 13.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in his first four games with Detroit. It's been a good start for Wiseman at his new club, and injuries to Isaiah Stewart (hip) and Jalen Duren (ankle) should help him to maintain the momentum.
