    Christian Wood is really interesting, and I noticed his overall stats from last season were almost identical to Brandon Clarke's:

    https://stathead.com/basketball/pcm_...&p2yrfrom=2020

    Wood: 21.4 mpg, 13.1 ppg, 6.3 rpg, .620 eFG%, 3.1 BPM, 1.7 VORP
    Clarke: 22.4 mpg, 12.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg, .642 eFG%, 3.1 BPM, 1.7 VORP

    The other surprising similarity is that Wood is only 1 year older even though it was his 4th year in the NBA, and Clarke's rookie season.
    Wood does have a few red flags, though. One, his big numbers were posted as a starter during a time Detroit went 6-20, including a season ending 1-12 streak, though it's fair to say he had very little help from a very thin team at that point. But one cautionary maxim I generally agree with is "beware big numbers on a team that loses regularly & badly." The other red flag is how many chances Wood has had and how many teams have given up on him. I don't know the full story behind that, but it's strange how often he has been let go, even with a nearly risk free minimum contract. My gut tells me a team like the Knicks or the Hornets will overpay him, and make it less likely he'd accept a more moderate offer from a team like the Spurs.

    That bouncing around, I call the Tobias Harris syndrome. He’s a pretty damn good player, but was traded 4 times in 9 years. It’s almost like when a team got a close look, he didn’t pass the test.

    I can't find much info about it, but both New Orleans and Milwaukee let him go for nothing. On paper, a productive center who costs very little made sense for both teams. It's an odd story.

    Milwaukee released him because of a roster screw up on their G League team. Technicality really. Pelicans released him because Demps got fired and Griffin came in. Didn't survive regime change.

    He has maturity issues that's why no team commits long term.

    I wish there were more details and a couple of specifics.

    Changing topics. Jaden McDaniels. His positioning in the draft is all over the place. Does anyone have a handle on him? Sounds like the anti-Spur, but if he somehow dropped to 41, would they take him? They seem to look for value like this when possible.

    The Warriors' tax situation is no longer as bad as it was perceived to be.

    Yes, low risk/high reward, even if he's a bust, it's just the 2nd round.

    27 years old. Awfully young for a general manager

    Boomers great Matt Nielsen's rapid rise through world basketball coaching ranks has continued with his appointment as head coach of the San Antonio Spurs' NBA G League affiliate, the Austin Spurs.

    The 42-year-old's promotion comes after just one season as an Austin assistant under Blake Ahearn, who vacated the head coach role to take up an assistant position with the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies in June.

    Nielsen, a three-time Olympian with the Boomers, has been on an upward coaching trajectory since calling time on an outstanding playing career in Australia and Europe in 2013.

    I'm assuming it will be either the 16th or 17th since draft is on the 18th; teams need to know what players are opting in/out to create draft strategy.
