He's entering a completely different scenario with the Warriors than the one he was drafted into. Just to be clear, I'm not expecting Wiseman to put up monster numbers next season, and he'll have to earn his spot in the rotation after missing so much time. There are countless examples of the third-year leap, so with that in mind, let's take a look at five guys entering their third year who are poised to take that leap. Draymond Green went from solid bench player in his second year to guaranteed starter by Year 3 and doubled his point average. Think of Paul George when he went from averaging 12.1 points a night in his second season with the Indiana Pacers to putting up nearly 18 points a night and earning an All-Star nod in his third year. It's not a hard and fast guideline, but it's a good measuring stick to see how a player's doing after two seasons of getting acclimated. It's a general term used to describe when a player has really arrived in the NBA, and it's often associated with a player's third year as a pro. For some, it may mean taking that leap to solidify your place in the league. Depending on the player it could be taking a leap to become an All-Star, or jumping from solid role player to nightly starter.
When we talk about an NBA player taking a "leap" it could refer to a number of things.
