Must be some other gasol or Greek freak brother somewhere. Lol.
Christian wood is a Greek freak type. You can't duplicate a player but you can work Wood into Giannis' mold
Oh he's from Palmdale? Welcome to the Lakers son.
Is he a Quincy miller type?
Right now he's probably a Quicny Miller type in terms of play style. But he has much better physical tools. Quincy is 6'10 but still only has tweener length. Wood has elite length for a Center.. So if Wood reaches his potential it's much higher than Miller's.

Also Miller was nowhere close to the rebounder or shot blocker that Wood is
Wood would be a steal at 27. High reward player if he pans out at 27. Playing the 4, he'd also be a good fit beside Okafor.
lets say at 27 both Woods and Upshaw are still on the board, who would you go with? _________________ Ringo "You retired too?"

Tough question. I probably go with Wood as he can play multiple positions and has a ton of upside vs. Upshaw who is a 5 only that also has a lot of upside but questionable discipline.

I think Upshaw's game is more NBA ready, Woods is more of a project. _________________ Ringo "You retired too?"

Disagree on Quincy Miller type. Really think he's an uber-raw version of Marcus Camby before the post skills and has some limited perimeter game instead.
Quincy Miller wasn't really the same after he tore his ACL. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
All are very different players but if any of these guys are available I would take them. I would even trade 27 and 34 to try and move up to the 20-23 range and get them but I doubt there is a team that values the 34th pick that much
That kid from Brazil can be another tony Parker! We have to nab him. Late first round is where international unknowns go and can be stars like ibaka, dragic anyone That kid from Brazil can do it all!

Tyson jones isn't explosive. at best he can be a Ronnie price and stick in the league. Kendall Marshall isn't quick or a great athlete but what to a big name school. How did that turn out.. Give me rozier or one of the Brazilian point guards
Okafor, Justin Anderson draft!
Bring back Ed Davis, J LIN
Give me this bench
C: Davis/Sacre
PF: Black/Kelly
SF: Anderson
SG: Young/Brown
PG: Lin
go hard after a free agent SF to complete the team
I think Anderson can be Danny Green in a year or two. Shot 46% from downtown and is an athletic beast. He is also a good character guy from all reports. Trade 27 and 34 to grab him.
Okafor and Anderson is my dream draft. If we got those two guys, I wouldn't care if we struck out on every single FA target. Okafor/Randle/Anderson/Kobe/Clarkson. We won't in a ton of games with all that youth, but in a couple years, it could be special.
Watched him in college, watched him outplay Stanley Johnson and the guy has a nonstop motor.
9 offensive rebounds in the first half alone during the combine. Not a great shooter, but he can definitely bring the kind of hustle and drive you want from a solid rotation player.
