New Indiana Pacers center James Wiseman is only looking ahead with his new team. He's learning and hoping to change the course of his career.
INDIANAPOLIS — James Wiseman played on one of the NBA's best teams when he was drafted by the Golden State Warriors, then one of the league's worst squads when traded to the Detroit Pistons. He had different roles with both franchises in the early stages of his career.
Indiana hopes they can develop the rest of his game. "He's just got to keep learning. It's important that things are simple, and that his job is simple. Defensively, we do different things than the last two teams he was with. So there's some adjustment there," Carlisle said. "But he's a tremendous person. He's a great worker. He has a pure heart, and he wants to be a part of a team, something bigger than him. He's a wonderful guy to be around every day.
"I really want to come in and just develop... just come in and just add to ," Wiseman said after one of his first practices with his new team. Just ask Turner and Jackson, who have both been with the team their whole career. They've both been extremely efficient in recent years. Smith had his best seasons with the Pacers, too. Wiseman wants to be next."It was fun. One thing I learned is conditioning. Being in the greatest shape. Because in Indiana, everyone is in great shape," Wiseman said of the Dallas trip.
