Story summary

James Wiseman, the No. 2 pick in the 2020 NBA draft, is now fighting for a spot on the Knicks' roster as their third-string center after struggling with his career trajectory. Six years ago, he was seen as an exciting prospect by teams like the Warriors and their fans, but now he faces significant challenges and adversity. Knicks coach Mike Brown, who previously coached Wiseman at the Warriors, noted that while Wiseman's court feel has improved since then, he has also been humbled by his career setbacks.
