Pistons Veteran Throws Down Another Highlight Reel Dunk vs. Raptors
As the Detroit Pistons put together a strong stretch of games this week, there’s been a lot of fan support behind the veteran center, James Wiseman.
Part of that support stems from the showstopping dunks he’s put on display over the previous two games.
On Wednesday night, the Pistons hosted the Toronto Raptors. During the first half, Wiseman shook up the arena when he decided to make an aggressive attack to the rim.
As Wiseman was able to break free into the paint from the top of the arc, he met just one defender at the basket. A hand in his face didn’t matter as Wiseman threw down a one-handed dunk with authority.
On Monday night, Wiseman put together a similar sequence in the Pistons’ home victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
During that matchup, the veteran reserve checked in for a little under 18 minutes. He attempted six field goals on the night, draining 67 percent of his attempts. After tacking on two free throws, Wiseman finished the game with ten points. He nearly notched a triple-double against the Hornets, as he came down with nine rebounds as well.
Wiseman’s performance against the Raptors was a little quieter but certainly efficient. In a little under 20 minutes of action, Wiseman made all but one of his four field goal attempts. He scored six points.
On the glass, Wiseman notched double-digits in the rebounding department by collecting ten boards. On the defensive end, the veteran center registered three blocks, tying the team’s starting forward, Isaiah Stewart.
