Lets make the hard calls

I'm ok with this too. (O'Brien).

Given our restricted draft picks hand I think it’s a good, cheap pickup.

In an area of need.

In 7 years he has had 1 game with more than 18 possessions. Just happened to be against the Dogs a few weeks ago. At 193 cm he is the same as Cordy. I thought we were after a key defender.

In the last year Alex Keath had 1 game with over 18 possessions. Please explain to everyone here that's he's also no good.

O’Brien is an upgrade on Wood who is completely cooked as a top line defender. At no cost from a picks perspective, I don’t have a problem with it.

I don’t care how many possessions a defender gets.

I agree re his height. I would have preferred someone taller (like a Young) but he’s way more athletic than Cordy. I imagine Schache will also switch back to give us coverage and who knows how Darcy goes. Unfortunately I just don’t think there are many KPD options out there this year.

Does Wood have any other role to play? time to go?

He's essentially a free upgrade on Cordy. He probably lacks the mongrel but he's quicker and will have far more confidence in the air. Must play as the third tall. I'm down with getting O'Brien in.

Depth only next year.

Keath is significantly taller, and in 30 games before we got him had 7 games over 18 possessions, yes 7 not 1. That’s a quarter of his games.

O’Brien certainly is not another Keath.
And where are we going to play him? I thought we need a key position player. At 193 cm he is simply a Cordy clone.

But now he's only done it once in the last 2 years!

Obviously he's performing terribly with us these last 2 years with such a low possession count. Right?

My hope is he can be an additional aerial presence down there (has a great leap) and coming from a good system based program will be drilled in the "turn over" game. Also he suits Bevo's swing man fettish.

Unfortunately KPD's dont grow on trees. I'm in the get Talia camp but... You know..the thing.

He's pretty much a free hit, he's 27 so can't see an issue.

At 193cm Bont is simply a Cordy clone too right? Perhaps there is a Cordy clone factory on Kamino that we don't know about?

O’Brien isn’t a Cordy replacement. He’s a Wood replacement.

Gardner is the Cordy replacement and should have played ahead of him in the GF.
