Golden State expected Wiseman to lead a new era when making him the No. 2 pick in 2020. However, he only played 60 games with the team.
The seven-foot big man from Memphis missed all of last season with a knee injury. He’s played 21 games off the bench this season, averaging 6.9 points in 12.5 minutes.
Last in the Eastern Conference at 14-42, the Pistons will take a chance on the 21-year-old finding his footing away from a team harboring championship expectations.
Detroit parted with Bey, a 23-year-old averaging 14.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in his third season. He’ll go to a Hawks squad fighting for playoff positioning at 27-28.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Atlanta also traded Justin Holiday, Frank Kaminsky, and two second-round picks to the Houston Rockets for Garrison Matthews and Bruno Fernando in a “cost-cutting move.”
