But gotta hand it to you Briggs, you got this one right. Woods is a good young player that we should have added.
I comment on a lot of players because there is hundreds of drafted players. I talked about a lot of players this year— who was my top dog?
I remember when trae young was coming out I said straight out pick 1 — many people including those who wrote in this post said he was actual garbage. That’s not true at all.
And it’s not about me saying anything. I wrote another post saying other posters had it right w Vassell— they did. We should have Vassell and Woods. Instead we got bullock and Toppin—- that’s y we sck. The only guy who was the right guy was up and Barrett — otherwise we have done sht.
Like I said , I give you credit for Woods. However, think Nalod brought up a good point. We drafted Obi who we did not think would be available on the 18th. Why would we look to add Woods on the 20th? Also, someone else brought up the question of Why would Woods pick the Knicks over the Rockets? As for Vassell. I wanted him early on and then changed my pick to Obi or Devi once I saw Vassell's mechanics and the fact Obi and Devi were still available. No way I take Vassell with those two on the board.
Disagree with the fact we have not done anything. Adding Burks was big, Rivers, I feel, will be big. We added a couple of young guys with promise and we are one of the youngest teams in the NBA and just beat the Bucks. That is something?
