Sure brig Wood in. I'd say Smiths best performance of the Season was tonight battling Dwight.

Good call Cam. I wanted Woods in the draft. When the McCaw discussion came up on the draft thread I was thinking that UNLV team had a great recruiting class in 2014 and looked to see if he was still on the 76ers roster.
Any ways Woods would be great person to try out. If he would have stayed another year he could have been a mid first round pick this year.
I'd take a look at Wood and Vince Hunter. Hunter has better stats than Wood almost across the board and he's only 21. Here's his D-League stat page: http://stats.nbadleague.com/player/#!/1626205/
Like Wood, he went undrafted in last year's draft. Here was his draft profile: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Vince-Hunter-72560/ "Standing 6'8 with a solid 6'11 wingspan, Hunter is a big time athlete with terrific quickness and explosiveness. Able to effortlessly finish plays above the rim and defend multiple positions, Hunter's physical profile is a key part of his value proposition at the next level, and a big reason why he was able to fill the stat sheet and endear himself to the NBA Draft analytics community with his efficiency and productivity.... Despite his lack of perimeter scoring ability, Hunter remains an intriguing prospect in the Andre Roberson mold thanks to his fantastic lateral quickness and multi-positional defensive potential. The type of athlete who can switch onto and capably match up with players at no fewer than three positions, Hunter ranked second among college big men in steals per-40 minutes pace adjusted behind only Willie Cauley-Stein and also ranked 3rd in our top-100 in defensive rebounds per-40 minutes pace adjusted.
He was stifling at times defensively a season ago with his aggressiveness, recovery speed, and motor, and showed improved fundamentals and discipline from his freshman season. Considering the tools he possesses and the progress he made from one year to the next, he seems to have all the tools to find success on this end of the floor in time.
Only 20 years old, Hunter is a player a team could opt to invest a second round pick in hopes he finds his perimeter stroke and grows into more of a natural wing player. Given his physical tools, the UTEP product will be a player to keep an eye on throughout the draft process and in the coming years, as he clearly has NBA athleticism to go along with tremendous instincts as a rebounder and defender."

With only twelve games left now - I would agree with you. We're not even using Belly, Payne or Rudez at this point. The only remaining question is....will KG play again. I'm assuming he's going to play the last home game - but just my guess.

Haha, why would KG play this season? He's having a good time sitting back, relaxing and collecting checks. That's the good life. He might be doing that again next year.
