Have we expressed any interest in him at this point?

Big difference between him and Whiteside, IMO, is that Whiteside understands his role and his place as a player...I have a feeling that Wood thinks he's a small forward at times. Doubt if any team is going to make him the focal point of their offense, so he has to find his niche as a player...something he has not been able to do so far.

true. But through the years I've been pretty good at finding the quality cheap player Risk/ reward is absolutely negligible -- you can't pay everyone 12 mm. I think he could not only make the team but contribute right away

Have you?

I don't doubt you've ID'ed some guys that have been decent, but are you also counting all the guys you've ID'ed that never turned into anything?

Honest question.

Of course. I liked Nate Wolters--didnt turn out as well--mainly because he cant shoot a 3. But the cheap player 2nd rounder is a hard market--you're going to miss some. But Ive done well on the boards dating back to calling Mike Redd as a second round pick years back. Last year I picked Brogdon in the draft for a 2nd rounder potential for the Knicks(as well as Derrick Jones and Bryn Forbes) and Seth Curry as a cheap free agent--thats not bad.

C'mon Briggs, this is almost exclusively your topic matter, there's been a LOT more than Nate Wolters.

A LOT more.
