Was James Wiseman the better pick over LaMelo Ball for the Golden State Warriors after all?

Many have been wondering if selecting James Wiseman over LaMelo Ball was a mistake. Well, Wiseman’s recent performance says otherwise!

The 2020 NBA draft was an interesting one as it had some very exciting young superstars. The top three were particularly special to begin with.

Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman, and LaMelo Ball were highly rated prospects. So much so, that there was no doubt that they would be the first three selections.

That is exactly how things would go, with Edwards going first to the Timberwolves, Wiseman being selected by the Warriors and LaMelo finding a home with the Hornets!
