NBA Comparison: Tracy McGrady

Strengths: (Based on hearsay) Possibly the most talented prospect in the entire 2002 NBA Draft if he declares. Has skills that are unteachable. Part of the new breed of NBA players, of the Tracy McGrady, multi-skilled, ultra athletic types. A do it all player. One NBA insider I spoke to said he will be a top 3 pick and may end up the best player in the entire draft class.Comparing him to McGrady, he probably isn't the run jump athlete but his handle and shot are better. More importantly, "He's a good kid. I've met him and talked with his family, and he may not have taken the usual course to the NBA, but he's a good kid." Very versatile, extremely skilled wing player, with great size and quickness. Can handle the basketball extremely well at 6-9, scores with a variety of moves to the basket, and has a nice shooting stroke. Explosive player with very good scoring ability.

Weaknesses: The Juco stigma. Kedrick Brown paved the way, jumping from a Juco player to being a lottery pick. However, he has had a slow start in Boston struggling for minutes. There will be no shortage of NBA scouts following Woods development this season.


Recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons says that some pro scouts are calling him another Tracy McGrady.


Here's what Gibbons had to say about Woods:
A team that may surprise a lot of people is Memphis. They've got the best juco player in the country in this Qyntel Woods (6-8, NE Mississippi JC). Talking to NBA scouts that have been to see him, they think he's Tracy McGrady. He can play point guard, second guard, small forward. I've talked to three NBA scouts that have been down there and they say if he comes out he would be taken among the top two or three picks. Of course, for (John) Calipari -- who's already lost Amare Stoudemire (6-10, Orlando), who will definitely go pro -- the challenge is to keep Woods by saying, "I can get you better prepared to go to NBA."

NBA Comparison: Tracy McGrady

Strengths: A freak athletically. Super quickness. Very fast running the floor. Future wing player. Upside is tremendous. Has developed a nice crossover and like his idol KG, likes to play away from the basket and take players off the drizzy.

Weaknesses: Underdeveloped body. Needs to get alot stronger. Very raw skills. Jump shot has no range. Will take a while before he can contribute. Must learn on the fly.



I like Woods personally in this comparison. Just look at our last game, he had 14pts and 12rebs !! Plus he is already here and no big contract to swallow !!

Q2 hands down.

He's a good kid, that kills dogs.

Come on man let it go already.

Darius is better, but Q Wodos is showing signs of being a solid player.

Not even close. Q Woods had one good game. Miles had steadily improved to the point where he was AVERAGING 18 and 6, 1.5 blocks (Woods will never do that), 1.3 stls. If they were both FAs right now, Darius would get about 40 times as much as Woods. (Maybe 40 mil vs. 1 mil.)

^^^^^^^^^
Exactly !!!!!!!!!!!

I guess no one is willing to actually like a player until they get the stats.

So Woods sucks cuz his value right now is maybe 1 mil compared to 40 mil with Miles? If Woods finishes the season scoring double figures and producing he will get his share of contract offers.

All I gotta say is I'm glad that Portland and Miami gave up on him. Their loss and hopefully the Knicks gain. The guy looks great.

yeah but why would you value a player for what he might do over a player that already does it? qwoods had a good game the other night but until he proves that he can put up similar numbers on an at least semi consistent basis it means about as much as malik roses 13pt 9reb game that he had against the sixers. although in actuality I would prefer not to go after miles becuase he is another low iq non-LB type player but I actually kinda hope this trade happens becuase ultimately I think it will lead to isiah getting fired faster.

So make the trade to fire Isiah?.....about Miles low IQ....yeah he has a low IQ. I actually wanted him early on but with Woods here why bother with Miles?

If Woods can continue to play well then we got a steal....a huge steal. Why can't you say that? If the guy can continue to score and rebound while getting better on defense than this kid is the diamond in the rough the Knicks need.....and the answer at the 3 for the next few years.

I agree with Eny, I like Woods ALOT and Miles would prolly be redundant, but i would rather have Miles than Patterson. Maybe we can use AD to get Ratliff and some filler and draft picks
