    Giannis is fools gold. The NBA went to extreme lengths to discount Harden by selecting CoconutCurry, Westbrick and GreekBrick as MVPs.

    That said, Wood relies on his nice soft touch. As long as the shots are falling, he can be dangerous, and as good as Giannis.

    He’ll never be better than Giannis imo.

    but he will be playable at the end of the game cause he can shoot. Threes. And FTs.

    he doesn't need to try to e Giannis. just be Christian Wood with defense and he'll be an all star.

    Wood had 20+ points and i feel like Dipo and Wall didn't give him the ball enough.

    Same wingspan, Giannis is 1" taller and 1 year older, Giannis outweighs him by 30lbs, Giannis is a primary ballhandler while Wood can put it on the floor to beat a big.

    Running an offense versus being a good offensive player are really different things.

    I think Wood has a lot of potential. Even though he is doing great things already, he still looks like a project. His thin frame makes him look almost "breakable" out on the court. I think he still probably has room to improve his shot. Even though he handles the ball pretty well for a big, I don't see him ever doing anything remotely close to Giannis in that regard.

    That's a pretty huge thing. Guys have NBA careers based on this alone.

    Yeah I agree. But I think they will learn to play better together with time. But who is the number 1 option on this team? Maybe this is why the team seems so disjointed sometimes. Also not sure why tuck didn’t get the ball. They often overlook him and try to make a layup instead of passing to the wide open corner three.
