I don't advocate ped use..stay away . Bad for ur health (not really but I have to say that on here)....I do wonder how big and better wood would be after a offseason of tren+hgh.. bigger faster.. but you don't want to gain too much muscle because then it's too much weight on your ankle and also kills cardio gaining to much muscle..but man he's skinny.. if I was him and I was looking at a Max contract in a couple years if I stay healthy I would totally take Peds like I just mentioned... NBA is interesting , just gaining an extra 5 ppg and 2rpg can Make u MILLIONS more on your next contract I mean he'll we have a couple of posters on here taking what I just mentioned and they just do it for fun they are not even professional athletes
Lol you totally missed the point...short version, I don't think he will ever be as good as bosh(who I wouldn't build around too) that's my point. He is not n will not ever be a guy good enough to carry a team. Hell ad couldn't so it, n what u think wood will someday be good enough to. You don't build around bigs unless the 3 example I give. Cause you knew those guys was that good, day 1. Idk bout you but I watch enough basketball to be able to see potential. Not to pat myself on the back, I told my family before we got harden I would super max him if I was harden. To me it was obvious given more responsibility he would be a all star player. N I juat have more fate in guards/wings then bigs since like quarterbacks they control the game alot more then a running back or defensive player...idc if you jj watt. You will never be able to do as much as a qb. Now there are exceptions. But it's super super rare. So if you wanna win. You better get 2 other guys that are better then wood on this team.
Steph didn’t need to get bigger/ stronger to have a major impact - just needed to stay healthy. But I get the point - it’s never too late to transform your body. I hope Wood takes getting stronger seriously, I just won’t hold my breathe.
Wood is fine offensively... the lack of good point guard play is hurting him. Defensively.... I think he can be a serviceable weak side blocker and can be a little switchable WITH the right mindset and effort.
Steph did put on at least 10 pounds of lean muscle since his rookie year. And of course he wears special shoes so he won't have those ankle injuries he would have in the past.
An example I think of is Clint C....who was skinnier than Wood when he first got to Houston. But he was a gym rat and literally got noticeably bigger and stronger every year (i think there is a thread on CFs tracking it). I just don't think Wood has the same attitude that Clint had. Capela is now 26 (a year older than Wood) and has reached his ideal physique/strength to battle in the NBA year in and year out. Don't see Wood wanting to transform his body or be a dog in the weight room (he would have made those strides by now as he turns 26 this year). Giannis, already 26, is another example of wanting to transform his body, and doing so every year, to take on the league. Wood is highly, highly skilled for a guy 6'10, he knows that, and I think he'll probably continue to ride that wave - like a Marcus Camby & Durant type...skinny, lacking strength, but with long arms for blocking shots and a ton of skill on the offensive end.
Just to put this all into perspective, our best player was a league scrub, who is currently playing with scrubs, so to ask for consistency is a bit much at this point. But again, the reality is that Wood may be exactly what he was and we need to know that is a possibility. We won't know until he plays with talent if he can hold a higher standard.
Kind of want him to be a 20-10 guy, he has 37 boards in the last 2 games, would be nice if he goes on a Capela like board run. DD
So much potential to be even better. Please lord, lift weights like a damn madman this offseason. Become an unselfish, defensive monster.
Just checking to see if anybody's still worried about our (involuntary) tanking wasting Christian Wood's prime....
