Projected top-five pick James Wiseman on Wednesday agreed to join HyperX, a gaming gear company, as a brand ambassador and will participate in a variety of storylines and activities as part of the sponsorship.
Wiseman, who is known for his gaming skills in Call of Duty and Apex Legends, will be exclusively using HyperX headsets while streaming and gaming with fans. He will help create original content, which will include a custom animation and comic book.
“Gaming has been an incredible way for me to connect with fans and still show my competitive side,” Wiseman said. “Whether it’s basketball or gaming, it’s important to have the best equipment available, which is why I’m excited to be partnering with HyperX. Their headsets are comfortable and allow me to play at my best.”
The 19-year-old is known for playing amongst fans and showcasing his skills in celebrity tournaments in various video games. He is a noted fan of cartoons, comics and anime and considers Marvel’s Avengers one of his favorite games to play.
Wiseman will join the likes of Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid and Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward as brand ambassadors. Embiid and Hayward have each become prominent competitive gaming and esports figures in recent memory as Wiseman will look to join along.
