Using examples of PJ and Lebron to compare CW isn't relatable at all. PJ's bball IQ and ability to fit on teams is a testament to his intelligence and skillset. That doesn't apply to CW. PJ does things CW can't do and brings the intangibles that are vital to winning teams. most importantly he fully understands who he is as a player which is something you can't say about a ton of players It's self explanatory with Lebron. He'll never be in his realm so not relatable at all.
BBall IQ comes through experiences. PJ played 4yrd of college, overseas and NBA. He's 38yrs old. Give Wood time, that's all I'm saying. BTW, Wood is better than PJ was at this stage of their careers.
nobody is talking who the better player is. it's not relevant who is actually. They're two completely different players. Wood is already 26. the give time excuse doesn't really apply much One player actually impacts winning and has done it for a long time. The other hasn't. I couldn't careless about empty numbers wood has put up to this point
i don't get this logic. Are we actually trying to win? 1 more year of tanking!! Gotta trust the process. Sixers got impatient or they woulda had the greatest dynasty ever..
Wood will actively hurt the development of the players on this roster that are worth a damn. What happened to Carmelo Anthony's basketball IQ? How about Westbrook's? They have had ALL the experiences and still play like losing morons. They are both net negatives, as is Christian Wood, who is far less talented than either of those guys.
I will be shocked If Christian Wood figures out how to impact winning. The dude can't even find his own way to the weight room. Meanwhile, we are supposed to let KPJ and JG look like doo-doo WITH Christian Wood. Wood has to go.
Christian Wood is a lost cause…people really need to stop copping pleas for this dude and looking foolish Christian Wood missed a mandatory Covid test which violated team rules, did not start the game because of the violation as a consequence, and then got so much into his feelings that he refused to check into the game that’s the type of guy Christian Wood is Wood is the type of guy who is happy if he drops 30 in a 20 point L and would be able to tell u all of his boxscore stats postgame Christian Wood does not care about the team, only about himself no one should have any faith in Christian…he needs to go, and it needs to be expeditiously
It's a copycat league, and copying other teams won't get us anywhere. Get guys that can play both ways and stop stressing about inches.
If he drafts Banchero with 1st pick then we know he isn't or he is but just doesn't care/understand how teams win in postseason. Big guys who cannot switch are useless. My greatest fear realized.
Guys who can't guard the perimeter respectably are really becoming useless in the playoffs. Hell even Gobert's defensive impact was muffled and he's a DPOY-level interior defender. It's what worries me about Chet. I don't want to find out Luka can torch us out of the playoffs by seeking Chet on the perimeter. That would be too big a weakness to build a foundation on. Could be wrong about Chet though.
I'd be more worried about perimeter defense of Banchero, Ivey, Sharpe, Griffin honestly. Chet's insane length + IQ + effort allows him to recover if beaten.
both sengun and rockets would be better off if hes traded somewhere where hed be appreciated, developed and used appropriately...and rockets could get assets or players they can immediately use/insert into lineup without worrying too much about the style of play, fit and coaching...
