He is widely projected to be a top-five pick in the 2020 NBA draft, with some analysts calling him a potential first overall pick in the draft.Wiseman began high school at The Ensworth School in his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee before transferring to Memphis East High School, where he was coached by former NBA player Penny Hardaway for his first year.
As a senior, Wiseman was a consensus five-star recruit, with most recruiting services ranking him number one in the 2019 class.
He claimed multiple national player of the year awards and played in the McDonald's All-American Game after his final season. In college, Wiseman joined Memphis to play for Penny Hardaway.
