let me clarify... I never said he has to be a star...
However I think some on this board think he is going to "save" us. I look at Woods more like a Keon type of player. Only problem I see is we don't have the same core around him.
But still he can be a good pickup if used right.

Now some people here want us to believe that Woods will be a major rotation player but for as long as Miller, SAR and Thomas are around there will not be enough minutes for him. Woods will not be any more used than Skinner was with us last year. He just simply is not good enough to command regular minutes on a play-off team. Hell he can't even do it on a lottery team.
I see Woods for what he is and that is a solid 3rd C on the roster. Your 12th/13th man that can come in occasionally and give you a little bit. He doesn't improve our interior defence as some would like us to believe. He is a slight upgrade on Sampson.
I am in no way against this signing. Its a low risk move. Minimal money for a player that has the skillset that we could use but for people to say that all of a sudden Woods makes us better is just laughable. He doesn't address anything becuase more than likely he will be stuck to the end of the bench.
If he was a Keon Clark, I would be over the moon because that would be exactly the sort of player we could use off the bench. Someone that will give you some reall energy, defence, rebounding and shot blocking off the bench for 20-25mpg. Unfortunately for us, Woods is just not that sort of player.
