James Wiseman is looking better and better each game

I will always be a believer in Wiseman and I want to see him improve and succeed. It's been great being able to see him have some success and consistent playing time.

But let's be real, his defensive game is pretty poor right now. People think of him as a potentially solid rim protector, but literally every time someone drives in the paint, Wise just backs off and lets them get a floater or layup off easily. I don't see him closely contesting enough shots in the paint. His rebounding should probably be better given his size, but it seems like his timing is always off. And he can't ever seem to get a grip on the basketball on tough passes. I'll let him off easily on his lob game though, because it seems like nobody but Curry can get on the same page with him, and that's not entirely his fault.

Having said that, he at least looks like he's fitting into the offensive system better. He doesn't look as lost as he did last time he had consistent playing time.
