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.
Y'all like to argue details, trying to be "right" on the most insignificant points that have zero constructive purposes.
You can't project greatness from related ineptitude. For every Wood/DFS/Middleton/FVV there are thousands of Mo Agers. Just because some good players once sucked doesn't mean that all players who suck will be good. That's like saying all ducks are birds, therefor all birds are ducks. You're using the exception to prove a rule.
But, I'll play. 4th Year in the NBA...

Are we done here?
