James Wiseman brought a lot of energy into his first practice with the Warriors and Monte Poole and Grant Liffmann discuss what the No. 2 overall pick can bring on the defensive end.

The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and Draymond Green participated in their first practice of Warriors training camp on Monday, as Golden State finally had its full roster for the upcoming season on hand.

Igniting the fast break. Gobbling up offensive boards. Skying high for a thunderous alley-oop. Warriors fans rightfully should keep their expectations for the 19-year-old rookie in check, but Wiseman isn't exactly making that easy. Golden State believes the sky is the limit for the 7-foot-1, 245-pound center, and it doesn't take long to see why.
