James Wiseman, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, has agreed to a two-year contract with the Indiana Pacers. The free agent center's signing is seen as a low-risk, high-reward move for the Pacers, who have a history of developing raw talent. Wiseman, 23, will join a roster that includes other notable young players such as Obi Toppin, Tyrese Haliburton, and Aaron Nesmith. The Pacers' style of play is expected to complement Wiseman's abilities, allowing him to focus on running the floor, catching, and finishing, while also encouraging him to develop his three-point shooting.

This is a typical Pacers signing, which is a good thing. Wiseman is another raw talent who got lost in the shuffle, a bit like Nesmith in Boston and Toppin in NY, a guy who still has a chance to be a major contributor. https://t.co/s88Y9DiTYF

I think the style of play that Indiana plays is a good spot for Wiseman. All he will have to do on offense is run the floor, catch, and finish. They will also encourage him to work on and shoot the 3 ball

I love the fit for James Wiseman in Indiana. He'll have to compete for minutes, but their point guards should be able to get the best of whatever potential he has.
