The Wiseman Mistake That Broke the Dynasty | NBA News
Description
The Warriors’ dynasty collapse began with a bold gamble: drafting James Wiseman second overall. Despite his raw potential, Wiseman’s rookie season masked by flashes of scoring and rebounding, his advanced stats revealed he was dragging the team down. Even with Stephen Curry at his MVP peak, the Warriors chose development over wins, betting on young talent to learn from veterans. Wiseman’s third year exposed his defensive flaws and plummeting trade value, culminating in a messy deal for Gary Payton II — a move hampered by injuries. This misstep, compared to their historic Tim Duncan draft, marks the first major fracture in the franchise’s once-unstoppable rise.
