“DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH”: IS THIS A DEFINITION???

I THINK THE NBA AND THE LEAGUE SCOUTS MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING WITH THIS YOUNG MAN??!!

POSSIBLY PLAYING OR BEING UN DRAFTED, AND THEN HAVING HAD BIG MEN ANTHONY DAVIS AND BOOGIE ON THE TEAM, OF THE PELICANS BACK WHEN HE CAME INTO CAMPS, ONLY TO PLAY IN THE NBA G LEAGUE..

Wood was in the second year of a two-year, $3.1 million contract, according to Sportrac. The Pistons will be on the books for the final $1.6 million of that deal unless he is waived before the first regular season game.

Wood, 23, was named to the second-team All-NBA G-League team for the 2018-19 season, in which he averaged 29.3 points, 14 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Playing for the Wisconson Herd, the Milwaukee Bucks affiliate, he also blocked two shots per game with shooting splits of .55/.26/.75 in 28 games. His numbers were good enough to warrant a spot on the Pelicans main roster for the last eight games of the 2019 regular season.

REALLY, I DO NOT LIKE “COMPARISONS FOR DIFFERENT ERAS OF PLAYERS, AND GOD-GIVEN TALENTS ARE PRETTY MUCH INDIVIDUALIZED. BUT, (ALWAYS A BUT: HUH?); THIS YOUNG MAN BRINGS UP VISIONS OF A CROSS BETWEEN ” Scottie Pippen” AND A YOUNGER Rasheed Wallace, BUT MAYBE EVEN MORE OF A “TIGERISH MEAN STREAK”. THE MAJOR FLAW, WHICH I SEE; IS ZERO OUTSIDE SHOT ABILITIES, WHICH MAY BE DEVELOPED, LATER, BUT THAT IS THE SAME SET OF FLAWS WHICH THE “GREEK FREAK”, BEN SIMMONS AND A FEW OTHER ATHLETIC TYPE YOUNGSTERS HAVE TO WORK ON, GLAD THE PISTONS MAY HAVE MADE A “DISTINCTIVE POSITIVE” MOVE… I WILL BE EXCITED TO SEE THIS YOUNG MAN GET A FEW CHANCES, IF THE PISTONS ALLOW HIM TO???… COULD TURN OUT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC “DIAMOND-IN-THE-ROUGH” STEALS OF THE LAST FEW DECADES

NBA Legends On How Good Scottie Pippen Was

Rasheed Wallace Says ’04 Pistons Could Beat Today’s Warriors | The Jump | ESPN

RASHEED WALLACE WAS A HISTORICAL MEMBER OF THE 2004 WORLD CHAMPION DETROIT PISTONS “DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE” AND THE “HARD COURT FIRM; WALLACE, WALLACE, BILLUPS, PRINCE AND HAMILTON” WHO DEFIED ALL THE “TALKING HEADS, WHO GAVE THEM “ZERO/0′ CHANCE OF BEATING THE “MIGHTY LAKERS”, GOING INTO THAT SERIES. OF COURSE I PICKED THEM; THEY WERE MY TEAM!! BUT, EVEN I NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD DO WHAT THEY DID TO THE LAKERS AND HOLDING TEAMS TO AROUND 70-80 POINTS PER GAME, WITH AN UNDERSIZED CENTER “big BEN WALLACE” (NOTICE I USED A TINY “big”); BUT, MANNN, THAT 2004 TEAM AND REALLY I COULD HAVE “PUNCHED JOE DUMARS IN THE HEAD FOR SPLITTING UP A TEAM WHO HAD WENT TO 6 STRAIGHT EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS, AND BARELY LOST TO THE “WHAAA-WAAA DUNCAN SPURS” IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2005…OK, BUT THAT IS EVEN MORE PERPLEXING THAN JOE’S DRAFTING THAT DARKO GUY, OVER A DWAYNE WADE, A CHRIS B. OR EVEN A CARMELO ANTHONY?? I WILL STOP AT THAT…BAAADDD MEMORIES AND NIGHTMARES….

LETS SEE HOW THIS YOUNG “MR. WOOD” … CAN DO!!??

“DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH”: IS THIS A DEFINITION???

I AM HOPING WE CAN DUB HIM AS: A NICKNAME OF: “THE HARDWOOD DIAMOND”!!??
