It's a damn shame we let go of Qyntel Woods. I told all of you last year that if given a chance to learn and develop in a system, this kid is going to be a very solid player. Well, he's been sitting around with the Knicks and hey, all of a sudden...he's getting playing time!
Last 4 games for Qyntel [getting playing time]:
26 mins - 11 pts [4/8] - 5 rebs
22 mins - 14 pts [6/8] - 12 rebs
36 mins - 11 pts [5/9] - 6 rebs
37 mins - 24 pts [8/11] - 8 rebs
36 mins - 15 points [6/13] - 9 rebs
It pisses me off how well this kid is playing. I said it over and over again when we signed him last year...keep the kid out of trouble, give him time to learn the system behind veterans like Eddie Jones, Shandon Anderson, & Rasual Butler [last year], and let him step in this year. It's a damn shame, because we've got Shandon Anderson sitting on our bench doing nothing right now, and whenever Walker struggles, we have to pay for it because he's supposed to be "the" guy off the bench. Let's not forget that Posey comes to play solid basketball 1 out of every 3-4 games a week. Woods isn't a sharp shooter or anything like that, but he can score and he's a heck of a defender. It's a shame. Great young talent who I wanted back in the 2002 Draft before Caron Butler somehow fell to us. Everybody else wanted garbage *** Jared Jeffries.
