James Wiseman Leaves Memphis University to Prepare for NBA Draft

By    

Touted as one of the top prospects coming out of this college basketball season, there has been plenty of controversy surrounding James Wiseman. According to the NCAA, he accepted gifts from then booster (no coach) Anfernee Hardaway, when he helped his family moved to Memphis 10 years ago.

The NCAA suspened Wiseman earlier this year, but now it looks like he’s not returning to Memphis.

With an influx of guards in this year’s NBA draft class, Wiseman is atop of the big men list and it’ll be interesting to see which team picks him up.

The Golden State Warriors might be in the market for a young big going forward, as they suffer one of the worst seasons in recent history. But with Klay Thompson and Steph Curry coming back healthy, he would thrive with them and Draymond Green.

Today I formally withdrew from the University of Memphis and I will be preparing for the next chapter of my life. Ever since I was a little kid, it’s been a dream of mine to play in the NBA. Throughout this process, I’ve asked God to ordain my steps and lead me in the right direction. God is my lord and salvation, and throughout this process he has comforted me. This was not how I expected my freshman season to be, but I’m thankful for everyone who has supported my family and me throughout this process. I want to thank the coaches and staff for all their support and my teammates for pushing me everyday at practice. I feel blessed for the opportunity to be a Tiger and for having the honor to play with these special group of guys. I can’t wait to see what all they accomplish this season. The friends and fans of Tiger Nation will always hold a place in my heart. #GoTigersGo 🐯🔵🐯
