    He’s moving on up...

    Middle class AD! Just needs some work in the weight room, and look out.

    Great win, and great to see some of these young guys play. We’ve got an exciting bunch of guys, especially when you add in Oladipo and Wall, EG. They looked like the weight of Harden’s gut had been lifted, and they were able to play freely.

    He looked like a poor man's AD when going against AD.

    He still looked like AD's little brother when played AD two days ago.
    There is still a ton of room for him to improve, but he will be there. The Spurs team interior is a bit slow, not equipped to defend Wood.

    How about Boogie!

    He's got that "Mamba mentality", didn't you hear?

    I really hate the AD comparison.

    The comparison is a consistent Siakam, imo, which is still a 2nd option on a title team.

    By Poor man's AD, you mean AD if he couldn't afford food?

    Grant Hill mentioned Antawn Jamison with the way he scores around the basket. I thought that was an interesting comparison.

    It’s really weird that wood is my player in 2k. His story is literally the prelude.

    He doesn't play all that much like AD to be honest. I don't know what the right comparison is. He's probably what everyone thought Bruno could be

    It’s good that he’s going to get a ton of experience while waiting on that #1 option.

    Antawn would be pretty devastating in today's NBA.

    Wood is a middle class AD on offense.

    a homeless man's AD on defense.

    He needs to get on Capela's weight program
    until Capela gained some strength
    he was pushed around

    Once he can hold his position down load
    esp on Defense. . .he will be All World
