Then factor in his age--the guy is a NO BRAINER for the Knicks as a guy we can use with KP and Noah. I dont trust KOQ and let me see Willy come close to putting up a 43 PER in SL or do 20-20s in the D league. We need a guy like this--a guy who has range out to 3 yet has post skills crashes the boards rebounds defends--this is the biggest NO F brainer out there.

I thought you didn't use Draftexpress?

Problem is, nobody here can sign Christian Wood to the Knicks.

Anthony Randolph was a lottery pick

I liked the guy a year and a half ago. I had him going 6 or 7 most of the year last year until he measured at 205 pounds and out of shape(dropped him into the 20's) But everything you read the guy has been dedicated to working hard since last years failure--and if so-if he is now indeed 230-235 pounds the way hes playing--the guy is a high lottery talent sitting there waiting to be picked up. This is Hassan Whitside part 2. Now which team is smart enough to grab him

So this thread is about YOU.

Got it.

This is a thread that states--our biog league team has been intensely risky putting itself together. If it fails and it could really crash and burn--it wouldve been prescient to use slots 14-15 to build the under belly of the team with the best young talent we could get our hands on. From what I have seen---Wood would be a rotational player for the Knicks today--now as back up for KP and Noah

Which is a good thing? No.

Do we want it to crash and land softly in the 8th seed?

Knicks just added a player no one saw coming yesterday, and they still have 3 to 4 roster spots left. Maybe they will?

Okay, cool. Let's go ahead say you convinced us. We all heed your wisdom.

Now what?

I'm not up to date on Woods, but it's going to be difficult for the knicks to pick a player on your Briggs list, because you have about 10 different players or more every year that has potential. Regardless who the knicks select, they will always miss out on a player you talked about because you talk about all of them.

This year it's clear, Phil wants to add young vets.....And if they have the same upside as a rookie who's wet behind the ears, he will pick the young vet. We can complain until our heads fall off, but Phil has his plan....If only there was a better way to get your voice heard by Phil, I would help you. But at this moment, I can only control what I can control, which is my enthusiasm about this new starting 5 and a refreshed bench of solid players with upside. The new guy from overseas who's 26 is a prime example. I'm sure he has this guy ranked higher than Woods, and both have similar potential. The main difference is experience.....Both are young players with potential.

Now Briggs will create multiple Woods threads every day all summer.

And...? Nothing new. Both guys lack what is in-between their ears.

Youre into neuro science? Everything I have read about Wood is that he has worked very hard this off season. On top of it they are two very different skill players.

"Between the ears" has nothing to do with skills...has to do with decision making and understanding when to use those skills. You know this.

If the guy's BB IQ is low, I doubt Phil is going to make room for him at this point, IMO, and I am someone who said I might take a chance on him in your other Woods thread.

Does this sound like a player with low basketball IQ? Can you show me anything this year that shows he has a low IQ? Or maybe he tried to coem into the NBA at 18 and was overwhelmed and now gets it at the ripe old age of 20? He was loud and active defensively from the back line, altering several plays with his length and strong timing on help defense.

Lets remember as an executive Phil has done nothing yet other than going with his scouts advice on KP. This new roster has a good % of potentially blowing up very hard--but we cant hold that as excuse.
