Huh?  That's all over the place.  Players are who they are, what they produce in the NBA.  Wood is a 20/10/2/2 guy.  How is that remotely comparable to complete scrubs you're trying to trade for?  What does it matter what ANY player was before they produced in the NBA?

That’s his point.  He gave you Wood’s NBA data at the same age/stage of his career.  He was a “complete scrub” and couldn’t stick with anyone.  It is intellectually dishonest to call one a scrub and not the other at that point.  Both show/showed clues of what they might become/became.  But it was in no way destiny at that point that Wood would be a 20/10 guy just like it is not destiny at this point that Bitadze won’t.
