Former NBA forward Richard Jefferson is already giving trash-talking advice to James Wiseman, who is projected to be a lottery pick in the 2020 draft.
Jefferson, who played with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers, says Wiseman should include LeBron in his taunt when he first blocks Anthony Davis in the NBA.

In three collegiate games this season with the Memphis Tigers, James Wiseman averaged 19.7 points and 10.7 rebounds. He shot 76.9 percent from the field and 70.4 percent from the free-throw line. The youngster left school early after receiving a 12-game suspension from the NCAA.
All Wiseman did, though, was receive money from Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway. The NBA legend provided $11,500 in moving expenses to assist Wiseman’s family in their relocation to Memphis during the summer of 2017. At the time, Hardaway was not the coach of the team.
Wiseman was the top high-school recruit in his class. He signed with Excel Sports agent Jeff Schwartz, who has a client list which includes a lot of NBA stars. Some of Schwartz's most notable clients are Blake Griffin, Kemba Walker, Khris Middleton, Kevin Love, CJ McCollum, Nikola Jokic and Andre Drummond.
Teams are certainly hoping James Wiseman doesn’t end up on the Golden State Warriors, who had the worst record in the NBA before the 2019-20 season was suspended and will likely have the best odds of getting the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft.
