Which is crazy because up until like 3-4 games ago, he has been fantastic. Hope it's just a mini slump. His per36 numbers were ridiculously good prior to the recent stretch.
wasnt he nursing some knee injury lately also? Not enough to sideline him but maybe affecting his recent play.
There must've been some collective voodoo done to this team during the last Finals. Who could have anticipated significant injuries to Durant, Curry, and Klay x2?
Yeah the crappy year that ensued netted us Wiseman, but it seems we can't catch a break with all these injuries.
Serious talk though, only positive I can see with Looney being out is that I think Wiseman could be back sooner, and with Paschall having knee issues, that will give Wiseman more minutes in the interim. With his steady progress, I think we're past the point of worrying about Wiseman losing confidence from bad games, but the key would be for him to continue to be disciplined and not get into early foul trouble.
