Golden State Warriors rookie James Wiseman has thrown down quite a few dunks to this point of the season, but perhaps none were better than his jam on Thursday versus the Denver Nuggets.
During the third quarter, Wiseman found himself in a pick-and-roll sequence with teammate Stephen Curry. Wiseman began to roll toward the basket as Curry was double-teamed, and was hit with the pocket pass in stride at the top of the circle.

From there, the sheer athleticism and ability by Wiseman took over.
Wiseman began to rise up at the bottom of the circle and then proceeded to throw it down with his left hand over the outstretched arms of the 7-foot-2 Bol Bol at the rim.

Wiseman has turned in a few highlight-reel plays this season and the dunk over Bol may be his best one to date. He has emerged as one of the top rookies this season and it stems from his ability to make impact plays on both ends of the floor.
