Does Wiseman remind Wanamaker of anybody he has seen before?

"But from a quick glimpse, that is somebody that I could see he's comparable to."
Williams, the No. 27 overall pick in 2018, averaged 5.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals in 13.4 minutes per game last season.
Golden State, obviously, expects Wiseman to have a much better career than Williams, but Boston's backup big man is someone who plays high above the rim.
So it's understandable why Wanamaker mentioned Williams.
