Draymond Green Reacts to James Wiseman's Pistons Debut

In this story:
The Golden State Warriors moved on from James Wiseman ahead of the trade deadline, sending the young big man to the Detroit Pistons. The trade should benefit both sides, as Wiseman now gets a chance to play, while the Warriors lean further into win-now mode.
Wiseman was solid in his Pistons debut, tallying 11 points and 5 rebounds in 24 minutes of play. His former teammate Draymond Green shared his reaction to the game on Instagram, sharing some support for Wiseman following his first game with Detroit:
“Go be a star.”

Encouraging Wiseman to go be a star in this new opportunity, Green is still rooting for his former teammate. This seems to be the sentiment throughout the Warriors organization, as it was recently expressed by Steph Curry as well.
When asked about wiseman, Curry said, "We all love James, like that's the biggest thing. It's a guy you root for, it's a guy that you know will be able to figure it out, it's a guy that approaches each part of his job the right way, has a great attitude considering everything he's been through and the expectations around him and the conversations around him... A lot of confidence that he'll be around this league a long time."
It is clear that Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Steve Kerr, Klay Thompson and others in the Warriors organization have a lot of love and respect for Wiseman, and will be supporting him on his new journey.
