He may be one of the single worst defensive basketball players I've ever seen. Total liability

He turns the ball over at a pretty astounding rate for someone that we run very very little offense through

And top of all of that his shot is streaky, at best. They finally got Kenrich out there for him, and if you're getting taken out of a game for Kenrich Williams, you got fricking problems

So far he looks like a poor man's Ryan Anderson. A homeless Ryan Anderson

I get it, we don't have anyone else, he's going to play less when Zion's back, etc. But man...he is not very good

Sometimes a player needs permission to dominate.

He’s an nba shooter, not an nba player.

His foot speed is baaaaaad. But, he was not brought in to play minutes vs. NBA first teamsters. He’s should be play 10 minutes as a stretch 5 when 2nd units are small.

He makes Ryan Anderson look like MJ on defense. He should’ve kept his arse in Europe.

I say frick it, play Josh Hart at PF

It can't be any worse. He might actually get some rebounds for us.

I don't think it was specifically for him, moreso Williams.

Woods is substantially worse defensively by every potential metric though, so...meh

Wood wanted out. We didn't get rid of him.

It’s almost like Gentry is a bad in game coach...

Then he needs to shoot. He passes up the shot almost every time. That makes him worthless.

We are missing Favors and Zion and he played 10 minutes, didn’t play a minute in the second half, and Jaxson Hayes played more minutes than him. He is going to need to start making his shots if he wants to be in the rotation once those two return. At this point he is our 5th big when healthy.
